xp_cmdshell - The system cannot find the path specified
<p>I'm trying to execute <code>xp_cmdshell</code> without success. The exe file to execute is at <code>c:\program files (x86)\internet download manager\</code></p>

<p>and I get the following error message:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The system cannot find the path specified</p>
</blockquote>

<p>The command line is:</p>

<pre><code>EXEC xp_cmdshell 'MPR01\\program files (x86)\internet download manager\idman  /n
</code></pre>

<p>MPR01 is the name of the server. I have also tried without the name of the server - and makes no difference.</p>
