So just to be clear, in your questionnaire (.que) file, you are entering:
in the filename field for the Executable item. Then in the Parameters field, you have tried entering:Code:C:\*programpath*\ekick.exe
If so, please post or send me a copy of the que file and I'll be happy to take a look at it.Code:(cexperiment.ebs subject=123)
Yes, that is what I had in my Medialab experiment (and have also tried other alternatives, but with no success). Attached is a sample .exp file that produces the error. I have yet to find a good way to interface Medialab with E-Prime scripts (and have had to program batch scripts for administering multiple .ebs files as a result). The problem is also present in the latest Medialab version (2008.1.22). I thought it might have to do with the command parameter not recognizing multiple word arguments (e.g., for experiment name and subject number), but the same thing happens when only a single-word argument (e.g., cexperiment.ebs) is used.

If I run:
C:\jacob\attention\ekick.exe |more
From the Run command on the Start menu, I get the flashing black window and then it closes immediately. But, if I first run cmd and then enter
C:\jacob\attention\ekick.exe |more
Then the more command works as it should. Is this the way it works on your system, or are you able to get the window to stay open either way?
PS., I found this PDF on executing EPrime scripts through EKick using Authorware (see attached). I thought it might be helpful. I noticed that, for whatever reason, they suggested creating and running EKick and it parameters via batch files.
