There was a bug in Fox (probably all versions older than 6 SP5) which prevented it from running off an UNC path (ie \\server\share syntax) if it contained a space. You could have spaces in any local directories, or directories beneath mapped drives, but not in UNCs. This was fixed in SP5. If this is the reason your exe won't run, it's giving you the error "ut.exe - can not find ut.exe" or something like that.

If I've guessed the reason well, you have two ways out - upgrade to SP5 or make sure there are no spaces in filenames, share names and directory names. If I have not, it would help if we knew what was the error message.
