Some things to look at:

1. In your example above does "path" now contain space(s), where formerly it didn't? If so that would effectively cause extra (incorrect) parameters (and no correct fully-qualified file name) to be passed to exe.exe

2. Did anything else change in addition to switch from VFP8 to 9? For example, maybe workstations were replaced and now are Win7 or Win8, and were formerly XP

3. Test in a CMD window to see if the command line you're passing in can be run manually
