Shannon,

Try enclosing the paths in double-quotes. For example, instead of

  "+force_install_dir" & " " & CacheSaveLocation & "/" & dlDat[1] &

Try with

  [...] & "+force_install_dir" & " """ & CacheSaveLocation & "/" &
dlDat[1] & """ " & [...]

The twin double-quotes are there to be substituted by Gambas by a single
double-quote when passed to the shell.

Likewise with the string array, instead of

  "+force_install_dir", CacheDir

Try with

  "+force_install_dir", """" & CacheDir & """"

Again, the shell sees a double-quote, then the contents of CacheDir,
then another double-quote.

Hope it helps,
zxMarce.
