I tried dragging the exe into QM, and using Winexec - same result.
The software in question:
Concise Oxford English Dictionary 11th Edition (only available on CD when you buy the book)
Merriam-Webster's Unabridged Dictionary v2.5 (I think also only available on CD).
With the latter, I get the program splash, then a box headed "Microsoft Visual C++ runtime library and the message: "runtime error. Program: C:\Program Files\Merriam-Webster\Merriam-Webster.exe. abnormal program termination."
With the Oxford dictionary I get a message: "failed to open COED11 dictionary file"
The only way I've found to open these programs by QM is to put an icon on the taskbar and open that by recorded mouseclicks. Then they both open as normal. Weird.
