then run this code:
Code:

$CURRENTPATH = "C:\Some Sources (KIX)\WIP"
$CURRENTITEM = "mcafeemanager3.kix"
$sItem = $CURRENTPATH + "\" + $CURRENTITEM
Run 'cmd /c "'+$sItem+'"'

and it fails
Quote:

'C:\Some' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.




change the path to be without parens and it works
Code:
$CURRENTPATH = "C:\Some Sources KIX\WIP"
$CURRENTITEM = "mcafeemanager3.kix"
$sItem = $CURRENTPATH + "\" + $CURRENTITEM
Run 'cmd /c "'+$sItem+'"'

or
change the run statement to be Run 'kix32.exe "'+$sItem+'"' and it works
Code:
$CURRENTPATH = "C:\Some Sources (KIX)\WIP"
$CURRENTITEM = "mcafeemanager3.kix"
$sItem = $CURRENTPATH + "\" + $CURRENTITEM
Run 'kix32 "'+$sItem+'"'
