[vbscript] Launch programs whose path contains spaces

I need to launch programs in my local system using VBScript. But I am having trouble with the syntax. This is what I am using right now -

Dim objShell
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
objShell.Run("iexplore")
Set objShell = Nothing

The above code successfully launches IE. I want to launch other browsers. But, if I use -

Dim objShell
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
objShell.Run("c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe")
Set objShell = Nothing

it is throwing an error saying that the file or path was not found. I am not sure how the parameter inside the Run() function is taken - should I give the path to an EXE or should I give some DOS commands?!

It's working with

Set WSHELL = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
WSHELL.Exec("Application_Path")

But what should be the parameter in case we want to enter the application name only

e.g in case of Internet Explorer

WSHELL.Run("iexplore")

Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run("firefox")
Set objShell = Nothing

Please try this

set shell=CreateObject("Shell.Application")
' shell.ShellExecute "application", "arguments", "path", "verb", window
shell.ShellExecute  "slipery.bat",,"C:\Users\anthony\Desktop\dvx", "runas", 1
set shell=nothing 

What you're trying to achieve is simple, and the way you're going about it isn't. Try this (Works fine for me) and save the file as a batch from your text editor. Trust me, it's easier.

start firefox.exe

You van use Exec

Dim objShell
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
objShell.Exec("c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe")
Set objShell = Nothing

Copy the folder, firefox.exe is in and place in the c:\ only. The script is having a hard time climbing your file tree. I found that when I placed the *.exe file in the c:\ it eliminated the error message " file not found."

find an .exe file for the application you want to run example iexplore.exe and firefox.exe and remove .exe and use it in objShell.Run("firefox")

I hope this helps.
