Thanks for that example. It gave me the idea to use SetDirectory (along
with some of Chris' code) to get around the problems. Here is my final
code that works for directories and 1 parameter with spaces (it so
happens that my parameter is the same as directory):
nbfile = ToFileName["FileName" /. NotebookInformation[EvaluationNotebook[]]]
thisdir = DirectoryName[nbfile]
SetDirectory[ToString[thisdir]]
executable = "finalProject.exe"
param1 = ToString["\"" <> thisdir]
Run[executable, param1]
