Launching External Programs problem (1 Viewer)

I do not understand how to launch programs in Media Portal.
I setup the My Programs link, add a FileLauncher child, navigate to my executable in Files>New, but the file does not lauch in the setup, nor in MP itself. Any solutions?

does this mean nobody else has had a problem launching programs?

Yep, I have been having difficulty launching TheaterTek as my external DVD player. TT starts, but I can't get the DVD to play. Maybe keymapping issues? *shrug*

It's hard to say exactly what's wrong without knowing in detail how you're trying to set things up. I find that most of the time when programs don't launch it has to do with the "Quotes around filenames" option. Try changing that. If that doesn't work, could you post a few screenshots of the setup?
