Why TC12 won't trigger .exe file from "D:\" partition?

Is there any reason why TC12 will not trigger .exe file from "D:\" partition, while the same exe file is being run properly from "C:\" partition? JS is being used as a scripting language, Win10 OS.  ...

    Because it's a shell basically running as a command line, it's possible that the space in the name of the directory is causing the issue.  What happens if, as a test, you put your file simply in D:\AdobeReader?  Will it work better there?

     

    If so, you might need to wrap your full path in quotes to make sure that the shell executes it properly.

     

    FYI, rather than instantiating the shell as you did, you should be able to use WshShell directly.  See
