Thanks Eric,

this was the right tip. My Problem is that i have two directories. The first 
one is "C:\Program Files" but the second one is C:\Programme. After i  
renamed (first character) the second one the test program works for me too. 
So what changed is the behavoir if two directories will match the short path. 

Sorry for the wrong error report
