  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.
