Run command in cmd.exe using the string from a particular cell

So basically guys I have this command string in cell E26 which gets generated by the changing values in the cells E9, E11 & E12.

C:\software license\License.exe Evaluation 30

All I need to do is Run this string which is in cell E26 in cmd.exe using a macro. I cannot figure out how to? I am trying different VBA's but all it doing is opening the cmd and not executing it.

If possible please help me with two different VBA's:
1) Running string in CMD silent mode.
2) Running string in CMD with CMD window open.

Cell Values:-
E9 = File path name
E11 = Evaluation\Annual\Perpetual
E12 = 30\365\730 (Days)

Formula in E26 is:-
=E9&" "&E11&" "&E12

Any changes which you would recommend in this?

Sub Run.command()
     
     
    Dim Par As String
    Par = Range("E26")
    Call Shell("C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c " & Par, 1)
     
End Sub

replace /c with /k if you want the window to remain open

@ JosephP: Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately it responds with 'C:\software' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

How can I fix this?

are you sure that the path is correct? can you run that from a command line directly?

Actually it is not executing the entire path if there is a space in between.

The actual path is 'C:\software license\License.exe'

Any ideas? The thing is my software has many parameters separated by space. eg: License.exe Evaluation 30

However, I am able to execute the entire string from the RUN box (Win + R)

try

Sub Run.command()
    Dim Par As String
    Par = Range("E26").value
    Call Shell("cmd.exe /c """ & Par & """", 1)
     
End Sub

Unfortunately it responds with 'C:\software' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

What do the extra """ & """" do?

they pass the program name in quotes which should avoid exactly that problem!

not that I can think of. that code executes as expected in my tests using paths with spaces

if you don't want cmd then just use shell

Call Shell("""" & Par & """", 1)

the number of quotes has nothing to do with the number of spaces

not really-I guess it's probably a program setting or perhaps it just outputs to the current directory. try changing the current directory to another folder
