Mapbasic : could not execute -- program could not be run

mi_loc = programDirectory$()
if mi_loc = "C:\Program Files (x86)\MapInfo\Professional11\" then 'runnng on 64-bit server
exloc = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\EXCEL.EXE"

end if
run program exloc + "'path'\dcprint.xlsm" (in this instance updates and prints dcprint)

Good morning Peter and thank you for your prompt reply,
The dcprint.xlsm “lives” in one of our virtual servers a path which all users have read/write rights.
As recommended, I also changed the settings in excel so as to allow macro-enabled spreadsheets. (no-luck)
I can also fire excel and word via mapbasic window via run command as a normal user.
Interesting enough I can only use run command and cmd functionalities in windows as an admin user only, and not an as normal user due to security rules. Could that be the issue?
Thank you very much again.

Does it help if you start MapInfo Pro as an Administrator?
You can also try wrapping the “Run Program” statement and use Run Command to execute it in the scope of MapInfo Pro as opposed to the scope of your application.
That should be the same as running the statement through the MapBasic window.
Run Command "run program " + Chr$(34) + "exloc" + Chr$(34) + " " + Chr$(34) + "'path'\dcprint.xlsm" + Chr$(34)

Hi
Use this line:
Run Command "run program " + Chr$(34) + "exloc" + Chr$(34) + " " + Chr$(34) + "'path'\dcprint.xlsm" + Chr$(34)
instead of this line:
run program exloc + "'path'\dcprint.xlsm" (in this instance updates and prints dcprint)
It’s a wild guess as I can’t see how that should make a real difference.
I do assume that the string 'path' will be replace with the real path in your code, right?
You may also want to ensure that you have a space between the exloc and the xlsm file.
You can try to print this before executing it to ensure it looks fine:
Print "run program " + Chr$(34) + "exloc" + Chr$(34) + " " + Chr$(34) + "'path'\dcprint.xlsm" + Chr$(34)
