The `subprocess.run` command was using `.split()` which does not handle quoted paths with spaces correctly. This would cause a `FileNotFoundError` when the path to the executable contained spaces. This change replaces `.split()` with `shlex.split()` to correctly parse the command string. A test case has been added to verify the fix and prevent regressions.
