Hi, Jeff.

It seems there are some issues with placing the OS specific .jar file in 
a path that contains spaces in the current version. As a temporary work 
around, could you try specifying the alternate DOS-name for the 
directory in question to see if that solves the problem?

That is, instead of "c:\program 
files\...\qtjambi-win32-msvc2005-4.4.0_01.jar" try setting the class 
path to include

    c:\progra~1\...\qtjambi-win32-msvc2005-4.4.0_01.jar

Does that help? If it does not, it should help to install Qt Jambi in a 
path that does not contain spaces for the time being. This problem has 
been scheduled to be fixed for the next patch release of Qt Jambi:
