I don't think you have to put the program name in double quotes. So remove those two instances of \" at the beginning and end of the second parameter. And the space in front of " parameter1" isn't necessary and might bork things up.

Thanks for the response. However, the problem remains. I have removed the double quotes and double slashes.

I am trying to execute Nmap from my C program. Nmap is installed in the "Program Files" directory. When I run my program, it errors out the program files directory because of the two words.
