As posted in the Ask for help forum here:
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8178
There seems to be a problem using code such as:
| Code: | | run, %comspec% /K %str_longpathwithspaces% "%param1withspaces%" "%param2withspaces%",,Min |
Where both the target and parameters have spaces. The workaround was to use a file reading loop with the targetpath and converting it to %A_LoopFileShortPath% |

I believe this is a limitation of the command interpreter (cmd.exe) and/or the API's CreateProcess() and ShellExecuteEx() functions. However, I'd welcome any evidence that suggests otherwise, and I would try to fix it.
Have you tried the nested quotes idea I mentioned in the other topic? It might prove useless, but I remember solving a similar problem that way. |

On C:\WINDOWS\system2\cmd.exe of WinXP SP2, if I do:
"E:\tmp\A B C\ShowParams.ahk" "a b" "d f"
it works as expected.
But if I do:
cmd /k "E:\tmp\A B C\ShowParams.ahk" "a b" "d f"
(or cmd /c) it fails as shown in the given thread. So this seems to be indeed a system limitation.

try:
| Code: | | cmd /c "c:\Progra~1\AutoHotkey\autohotkey.exe e:\tmp\abc~1\showparams.ahk "a b" "d f"" |
or
| Code: | | cmd /c "e:\tmp\abc~1\showparams.ahk "a b" "d f"" |
In other words... remove the spaces from the path(s)
or
| Code: | | cmd /c ""e:\tmp\a b c\showparams.ahk" "a b" "d f"" |
edit: ...but it seems these conclusions have been made in the topic linked in the first message of this thread  ... |
