I've finally found the solution: the argument passed to launchBrowser  
must be quoted.
I suspect the reason is the presence of spaces in a pathname (as in  
"Program Files"), that are normally replaced by %20 in http (encoded)  
URLs.

Thanks for your propositions that helps me in confirming my previous  
attempts.
