Executing a command with options

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I am trying to execute a command with options in a VB Script. I am using the
exec method because I want to look at stdout and stderr.

Executing from the command line it looks like this:
d:\HP OpenView\bin\opcragt -status -all

Here is the code I am using:

set shObj = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
set ragtCmd = shObj.Exec ("d:\HP OpenView\bin\opcragt.cmd")
WScript.Echo ragtCmd.StdErr.ReadAll
WScript.Echo ragtCmd.StdOut.ReadAll

The proir code completes successfully, however when I add options to the
execution such as
set ragtCmd = shObj.Exec ("d:\HP OpenView\bin\opcragt.cmd -status -all")
or
set ragtCmd = shObj.Exec ("d:\HP OpenView\bin\opcragt.cmd /-status /-all")
or
set ragtCmd = shObj.Exec ("d:\HP OpenView\bin\opcragt.cmd /status /all")

stdout reports " 'd:\HP' is not a recognized as an internal or external
command, operable program or batch file."

Any ideas on what is happening and how to correct it?
