By doing that, you have supressed whitespaces found in the original filename of rfp.xxe_gui: --- set XXE_GUI="C:/Program Files/XMLmind_XML_Editor/addon/config/dita/rfp.xxe_gui" --- I think that the problem comes in fact from your command line. It should be: --- start javaw -Xss1m -Xmx128m -DXXE_GUI="%XXE_GUI%" -DXXE_ADDON_PATH="%XXE_ADDON_PATH%" -classpath "%cp%" com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.start.Start %* --- Notice the *quotes* around %XXE_GUI%. > Also, I now see that I can append -putref <key> <value> at the end of > the cmd line.

No. > If not, what are my options? I'm sorry but I don't see how you could do that with XXE alone. (Well, there is always the possibility to write imaginative .bat scripts.)
