    Hi,

     

    Like in command prompt you must enclose path into quotes.

    In case of VBScript it will be like this:

    Dim appPath = """C:\\App\\Ellie Mae\\ApplicationName.exe""" ' three quotes at the beginning and the end

     

    Also you may consider to add your application to Tested Applications and start it using TestedApps functionality: https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/tested-apps/index.html
