Hi

           sh.Initialize("test",pathToExe,Null)
           sh.RunSynchronous(-1)

Is working for me too.
Even with a list of arguments in place of Null.
But when one argument is a path it's only working with shortname path or file, not with longname (especially with blank inside).

Do you know a way to get the shortname from a longname ?
