Illegal characters in path??

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I was trying to run this command inside the script:

execute "C:\Users\sydney\AppData\Local\EasyQlik\QViewer\qviewer.exe" "C:\Temp\test.qvd"

Both the exe and qvd exist in those directories.  Yet I keep getting "Illegal characters in path"?  If I put the exe pointing to

that qvd file in a BAT file say "viewit.bat" and run EXECUTE "viewit.bat", it works.

Does anyone know what's wrong?

Thanks!

Did you mean to open .qvw instead of.qvd?

No, I want to open a .QVD file.

Never tried this before, but try adding this

execute "C:\Users\sydney\AppData\Local\EasyQlik\QViewer\qviewer.exe" "C:\Temp\test.qvd (qvd)"

Same error.  Weird !!!

Have you tried this through Command prompt to see if this works or not?

I can execute the command at the command prompt or put the command inside a BAT file, both will work.  I was trying to following this example and I couldn't get it to work either.

If you could put together a snippet to see if you could get it working following that link i sent, this would absolutely appreciate it !!!

This worked for me... not sure why are you having trouble

execute "C:\Users\talwars\AppData\Local\EasyQlik\QViewer\qviewer.exe" "C:\Temp\test.qvd"
