Command Prompt Error C Program is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file

Question

I am trying to run the following batch command  The command has been extracted from the IDE so is confirmed working  Getting the error mentioned below   I have tried a few variations with double quotes but they haven t worked   Even on powershell it has the same message   C  Program Files IAR Systems Embedded Workbench 7 0 430 bin icc430 exe F  CP001 source Meter Main c -D Hardware P20E -D Calibration code -D  Optical -D  Configuration TS0382 -o F  CP001 Temp C20EO Obj  --no cse --no unroll --no inline --no code motion --no tbaa --debug -D  MSP430F425 -e --double 32 --dlib config C  Program Files IAR Systems Embedded Workbench 7 0 430 lib dlib dl430fn h -Ol --multiplier 16 --segment   data16 DATA16 --segment   data20 DATA20     Update    Trying the solution with quotes confuses the compiler in some way

If a directory has spaces in  put quotes around it  This includes the program you re calling  not just the arguments   C  Program Files IAR Systems Embedded Workbench 7 0 430 bin icc430 exe   F  CP001 source Meter Main c  -D Hardware P20E -D Calibration code -D  Optical -D  Configuration TS0382 -o  F  CP001 Temp C20EO Obj   --no cse --no unroll --no inline --no code motion --no tbaa --debug -D  MSP430F425 -e --double 32 --dlib config  C  Program Files IAR Systems Embedded Workbench 7 0 430 lib dlib dl430fn h  -Ol --multiplier 16 --segment   data16 DATA16 --segment   data20 DATA20

You just need to keep Program Files in double quote  amp  rest of the command don t need any quote    C   Program Files  IAR Systems Embedded Workbench 7 0 430 bin icc430 exe F  CP00

This seems to happen from time to time with programs that are very sensitive to command lines  but one option is to just use the DOS path instead of the Windows path  This means that C  Program Files  would resolve to C  PROGRA 1  and generally avoid any issues with spacing   To get the short path you can create a quick Batch file that echos the short path    ECHO OFF echo   s1   Which is then called as follows   C   gt shortPath bat  C  Program Files  C  PROGRA 1

I encountered a similar problem using windows command line for R script  Rscript exe  which is very sensitive to spaces in the path   The solution was to create a virtual path to the binary folder using the windows subst command   The following fails   C  Program Files R R-3 4 0 bin Rscript exe   Doing following succeeds   subst Z   C  Program Files R R-3 4 0  Z  bin Rscript exe   The reason the above-proposed solutions didn t work  evidently  has to do with the Rscript exe executable s own internal path resolution from its working directory  which has a space in it  rather the windows command line being confused with the space   So using   or   to resolve the issue at the command line is moot   The executable must be called within a path lacking spaces

Most of the times  the issue is with the paths you have mentioned for  java home  and  javac  tags in settings xml which is present in your  m2 repository and the issue is not with your path variable or Java Home variable  If you check and correct the same  you should be able to execute your commands successfully  - Jaihind

I believe James Hunt s answer will solve the problem    user3731784  In your new message  the compiler seems to be confused because of the  C  Program Files IAR systems Embedded Workbench 7 0 430 lib dlib d1430fn h  argument  Why are you giving this header file at the middle of other compiler switches  Please correct this and try again  Also  it probably is a good idea to give the source file name after all the compiler switches and not at the beginning
