QuestionProblem running a command when the path has spaces in its name. Pin

Backgroud: I'm trying to automate the printing of PDF files.

I found that by invoking
acrord32.exe /N /T pdfFile printerName
on the command line you can print PDFs silently. Great.

I'm trying to automate this in VB via
Dim p As Process = New Process()
Dim pi As ProcessStartInfo = New ProcessStartInfo()
Dim command As String = Chr(34) & "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\acrord32.exe" & Chr(34) & " /N /T "

        Try

            pi.Arguments = String.Format("{0} {1} {2} {3}{4}{5}", " /C ", command, sFilename, Chr(34), sPrinter, Chr(34))

            pi.UseShellExecute = False
            pi.RedirectStandardError = True
            pi.RedirectStandardOutput = True
            pi.CreateNoWindow = True

            pi.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal

            pi.FileName = "cmd.exe"
            p.StartInfo = pi

            p.Start()

            Do Until p.HasExited : Loop

            outp = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd

            Debug.Print(outp)

            outp = p.StandardError.ReadToEnd

            Debug.Print(outp)

        Catch ex As Exception
            Debug.Print(ex.Message)

        End Try


The error message I get from StdErr is
Quote:
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.


I've tried putting quotes around the command string, but it just doesn't work.
