Hello. If you look at actual command line of launched process you will see:
"C:\PROGRA~2\SMARTB~1\TESTEX~2\Bin\TESTEX~1.EXE" "C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestExecute 14\Bin\TestExecute.exe"
That's where source of the error lies -- PowerShell transfers full path to TestExecute.exe as the first command line argument of the created process.
Best way to launch some executable from PowerShell script is to use Start-Proccess cmdlet.
