>Parameters are just lined up after the executable, separated by spaces. Actually, for more complicated command lines I generate a batch file and run that - comes handy for debugging the command itself. Here's my line to zip files (where pretty much everything is prepared beforehand):

Thanks Dragan. I found a simple solution using Windows Scripting Host:

oShell = CREATEOBJECT('WScript.Shell')
oShell.Run( '"My Application Name.exe" MyParameter'  ,  ,  .T. )   &&  .T. = Wait for completion / .F. return immediately
