When I add a windows executable to run on timer alarm I get "I was unable to launch "C:\path to .exe". I have tried multiple .exe and .bat files and I always get the same error. I am running Windows XP. Thanks.

I found the problem, I had spaces in the path to the exe. The way the function runProcess() in TeaTimer.cs handles the path does not work with any path like "C:\Program Files\some.exe". Could you just pass the variable sFile directly to System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(sFile, t) after verifying sFile is not null?
