title: xp_cmdshell - The system cannot find the path specified
body: <p>I'm trying to execute <code>xp_cmdshell</code> without success. The exe file to execute is at <code>c:\program files (x86)\internet download manager\</code></p>
  
  <p>and I get the following error message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The system cannot find the path specified</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The command line is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>EXEC xp_cmdshell 'MPR01\\program files (x86)\internet download manager\idman  /n
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>MPR01 is the name of the server. I have also tried without the name of the server - and makes no difference.</p>
