SYMPTOMS
When you try to run a Microsoft .NET application from a command prompt window on a remote computer by using a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path name that contains spaces (such as the following): \\someserver\someshare\Visual Studio Projects\MyFirstApp\bin\MyFirstApp.exe you receive the following error message:

The network path was not found.



CAUSE
A bug in the handling of share names causes spaces to be handled incorrectly.



RESOLUTION
Enclose the whole UNC path that contains spaces in quotation marks.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
