> I am trying to debug w32-shell-execute, but there are no useful error messages. I am using SumatraPDF, which works fine in all documents.
How is SumatraPDF configured on your system? On my system, here's how
I see the command invoked to open PDF files:
D:\usr\eli>assoc .pdf
.pdf=AcroExch.Document.11
D:\usr\eli>ftype AcroExch.Document.11
AcroExch.Document.11="C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" "%1"
And that quoted "%1" is the reason why file names with spaces will be
processed correctly. Maybe on your system the quotes are missing?

If the function returns t, it means it succeeded in launching the
requisite application. The problem, if it happens, is within the
application it launches.
Is the below of any help?
