At a guess, I would say that it is a combination of Malice's and Boiled's solutions that you need. It *might* be that when you run it on the systems that don't launch, you have the executable in a folder (or a subfolder of a folder) that has a space in it's name.

If this is the case, simply appending and prepending quotes to the full qualified path should resolve this.
