VBS script with spaces in executable path

[Tyler Durden]

I'm trying to write a vbs to run vncviewer on a relative path. The following
code works, except when the path has spaces:

Dim LaunchDir, FSO, WSHShell
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
LaunchDir = FSO.GetFolder(".")

wSHShell.Run LaunchDir & "\vncviewer.exe -notoolbar -autoscaling
myhost.dyndns.org"

Where's the error?
Any help would be appreciated.

Put quotes around the paths. e.g. "c:\path\...\...\" Then it sees the
entire path, not just part of it.
