Command Line Open QlikView from Windows Parallels

Does anyone know how to open a .qvw file from Windows Parallels (running on a Mac)  using the command line syntax? I am able to open the app from the command window, but not the .qvw file.  For example:

This Works:

C:\Program Files\QlikView\qv.exe  (QlikView opens)

This Does Not Work (I triple verified the path and file name of the qvw file):

C:\Program Files\QlikView\qv.exe C:\Documents and Settings\qv_dev\myqvwfile.qvw 

Error Message Received:

"Windows cannot find 'C:\Program'.  Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again..."

The error message is silly, because it is complaining about the syntax of the call to the qv.exe, but that portion of the command works.

Thanks in advance for any insights!

Hi,

did you try adding some quotes? Sth like

"C:\Program Files\QlikView\qv.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\qv_dev\myqvwfile.qvw"

Kind regards

That worked, but I also had to use a double backslash, i.e. "C:\\Program Files\QlikView\qv.exe" "C:\\Documents and Settings\qv_dev\myqvwfile.qvw"

Thank you!!!
