ProcessBuilder.start and spaces invoking "net.exe" in Windows

Hi,

Having problem invoking this command.

The code looks like the following

ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(pExecutableArgs);
pb.start();

where pExecutableArgs is a List which contains
[c:\WINDOWS\system32\net.exe, start, SQL Server (ABC)] e.g. a list
with three elements.

It appears to be choking on the spaces on "SQL Server (ABC"). I've
tried quoting this but that doesn't work either. Any ideas?

That is unbalanced. Please post your actual code. The devil is in the
details.
