"C:\Users\Wedung\AppData\Local\SurfRight\HitmanPro35.exe" /scanonly /ews

this works perfectly. However, I want to add a right-click script to the button I just mentioned in order to do a quick scan (using the option /quick instead of /ews). I tried many forms but none worked:

::open "C:\Users\Wedung\AppData\Local\SurfRight\HitmanPro35.exe" "/scanonly" "/quick" (error shows "Division by zero, what does that mean??")
::open "C:\Users\Wedung\AppData\Local\SurfRight\HitmanPro35.exe" "/scanonly /quick" (program runs but only one file is scanned, so sth is wrong)

I know this is rather specific, but I guess my problem is independent of this particular program.

The left-click script of the button is the following and works OK

::open "C:\Users\Wedung\AppData\Local\SurfRight\HitmanPro35.exe" "<curpath>\";

But when dealing with /scanonly /quick, the scanner does not work properly. So in general, do you see what my problem is here? It's much simpler to use the catalog item without scripts, in which case the multiple arguments work well, but when I try scripts, it does not work. Please help!

Thanks you very much.

::openwith """C:\Users\Wedung\AppData\Local\SurfRight\HitmanPro35.exe"" /scanonly /quick";
