I had a similar issue as you, although I was trying to use start to open Chrome and using the file path. I used only start chrome.exe and it opened just fine. You may want to try to do the same with exe file. Using the file path may be unnecessary.

Here are some examples (using the file name you gave in a comment on another answer):

• Instead of C:\Program^ Files\temp.exe you can try temp.exe.

• Instead of start C:\Program^ Files\temp.exe you can try start temp.exe
