That doesn't look right, spawnve is not supposed to search the path.

Would passing an empty path (eg. ".") to the function solve the problem? 
SearchPath does a lot of what spawn needs to find the real filename, and I'd

If all you need is to append ".exe" calling SearchPath doesn't seem
necessary at all.
