[1.0.1] Windows8: App.open() does not work sometimes --- workaround: use run()

******** workaround
you might use the run(cmd) instead of App.open()
--- Windows
result = run('start /i /b "%s"'%(app))

--- Mac
result = run('open "%s"'%(app))

--- Linux
??? (use a similar command to run something in an independent process)

result contains the textual output, that would be seen if you run the command on commadline
the first line might contain
*** error ***
if the trial to run the command returned an error (e.g. program not found)

on the Java level (might change in the future!)
import org.Sikuli.basics.SikuliScript
.....
String result = SikuliScript.run(" ... some command ... ");

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have Sikuli R930 installed on Windows 8 Enterprise x64 currently.

I have a script that installs software and it is not seeming to work properly.

I have 2 App open commands and one works fine and the other just never works.

the one that works fine is this:

Settings.tscode = App(os.path.join(r"\\tsarchive", "Storage", "Timeslips", "Installations", Settings.tsVersion, "utilities", "TSCodes.exe"))

When this is called it opens a code generator application no problem

The one that does not work is this:

Settings.tssetup = App(os.path.join(r"\\tsarchive", "Storage", "Timeslips", "Installations", Settings.tsVersion, Settings.tsBuild, "setup.exe"))

It never opens and says App not found.

Same exact script works perfectly on Windows 7 Pro x64

even if I dumb the APP open command to this:

tssetup = App(r'"c:\BUILD\Setup.exe"')

and call tssetup.open()

it says App not found.

If i dumb down the App that does work TSCODE to this:

TSCode = App(r'"c:\BUILD\TSCode.exe"')

Retested all above with latest V1.01 with same results.
