Unable to execute exe from VB when path contains spaces

[Nitchal. P.@discussions.microsoft.com Bhanu Nitchal. P.]

Hi All,

I have developed a tool using VB [on 2003 box] in which I am trying to
execute an another .exe application [using shell] which will interact with
database to check the hierarchies and remove the circular references.

The VB application is installed and the path for that installation folder
contains spaces
EX: "c:\Program files\vb applicaton\"

Till I apply the security patches released recently for 2003, This
application is working fine. but after applying these patches, the VB
application is unable to execute the .exe file with in it.

I tested the application with some examples and found that VB is unable to
run this .exe file because of the spaces in the Application path.

dose any one experience this behavior earlier?
Is there any security patch restricting this execution of .exe?

eagerly looking for inputs in this regard

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,
Bhanu

different
thoughts which disturb us being perhaps only illusions like the flight of
time and the vain fancies of our dreams?

These are the chief arguments on one side and the other.

I omit minor ones, such as the sceptical talk against the impressions of
custom, education, manners, country and the like. Though these influence the
majority of common folk, who dogmatise only on shallow foundations, they are
upset by the least breath of the sceptics. We have only to see their books
if we are not sufficiently convinced of this, and we shall very quickly
become so, perhaps too much.

I notice the only strong point of the dogmatists, namely, that, speaking in
good faith and sincerely, we cannot doubt natural principles. Against this
the sceptics set up in one word the uncertainty of our origin, which
includes that of our nature. The dogmatists have been trying to answer this
objection ever since the world began.

So there is open war among men, in which each must take a part and side
either with dogmatism or scepticism. For he who thinks to remain neutral is
above all a sceptic. Th
