    Question instsrv.exe service srvany.exe problem

    I'm trying to create a srvany service on a Windows 2003 server (actually vmware) First of all I'm a mainframer so this is all relatively new to me. I remote onto the box, type in 'cmd' a the run command line and type C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\Instsrv.exe myservicename C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\Srvany.exe

    I get back the message: 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, ....

    I then tried cd-ing to the directory C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools and typing 'Instsrv.exe myservicename Srvany.exe' and got message: 'The fully qualified path to .EXE must be given.'

    I then typed 'Instsrv.exe myservicename C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\Srvany.exe' and got back the message: 'Unable to find the file at the given path.'

    What am I doing wrong?!!

    Welcome to D-A-L.

    Enclose any path statements which contain spaces in double quotes. (")
    ie; "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\Instsrv.exe" et al
