This should help: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/twistylittlepassagesallalike/2011/04/23/everyone-quotes-command-line-arguments-the-wrong-way/ My line of thought is that Cygwin can't get anything which Windows can't send it. So the first step to solve this mess is to make sure the arguments which you send to CreateProcess() are correct. The next step would be to write a small C utility which dumps it's arguments, so you can properly debug all kinds of characters. PS: I always point people to string list/array type methods to create processes which fix all the problems with spaces and odd characters (quotes, umlauts, etc). It seems that Windows doesn't have such a method to create processes. Which kind of makes sense; Windows is very, very mouse centered. Regards, -- Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla a.k.a.
