I tried that, but I still get the same error message.

Might be - double-clicking on it does start it, actually, but that's
it, and the context menu doesn't have any of the usual entries for
executables, either, so I'd say it's not recognised as a program for
these purposes.

Not me - I have no idea about these things. :)

I don't know. Does the windows shell pass arguments the same way that
a Unix shell does? It's just a random idea, but I wouldn't be too
surprised if it did not handle things like quotes itself and instead
expected the invoked program to take care of these.
