I dont think there is any problem in the code. It looks alright. Can u
shorten to path and check. i.e. instead of spaces can u have something
like c:\InstallService.bat. Perhaps you may have to change to Progra~1
instead of Program Files.

I don't *think* you can run batch files directly as processes. You need
to start the appropriate shell (eg cmd.exe) and pass it into that.

Should work, a .bat file is by default associated with the cmd interpreter.
the "assoc .bat" command should return:
..bat=batfile

Actually I just tried with a test batch file and indeed it worked.
