Yes, I have tried:
c:/program files/dna/bin/dna.exe 
'c:/program files/dna/bin/dna.exe'
"c:/program files/dna/bin/dna.exe" 
c:/program\ files/dna/bin/dna.exe

I can do it in the windows shell. So emacs somehow interferes when it
passes this to the shell.

How could I escape or quote a space in a shell command?
