Problems with start /LOW /B /WAIT and "quoted" program path

[pstein]

From a DOS batch script under (64bit) Win7 I want to execute the following command
with the well known archiver tool 7zip:

start /LOW /B /WAIT D:\tool\7zip\7z.exe e "D:\work 2013\myarchive.rar"

This works fine.

Now I decided to install the 7zip archiver in another directory with a path that contains a blank.
Because it contains a blank I have to quote the program:

start /LOW /B /WAIT "D:\Program Files\7zip\7z.exe" e "D:\work 2013\myarchive.rar"

When I run the DOS script now an error popup appears telling me:

"The system cannot find the file e."

So

start /LOW /B /WAIT does not like a quoted path.

How can I execute otherwise the program with the mentioned parameters (and with start command) ?
Resp: how do I quote the path with blank otherwise?

Have a look at the Help Message. The first quoted string is interpreted as window title.

Try

Code: Select all

start "" /LOW /B /WAIT "D:\Program Files\7zip\7z.exe" e "D:\work 2013\myarchive.rar"
