Running command Wscript.shell ActiveX in Javascript

I have a webpage that needs to run a program by ActiveX with some parameters.
I get those parameters with the following bit of JavaScript:

var var1 = getUrlParameter("par1", false);
var var2 = getUrlParameter("par2", false);
var var3 = getUrlParameter("par3", true);
var var4 = getUrlParameter("par4", true);

I'm creating a new ActiveX Object:

MyObject = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell")

Then I need to run a command, I've tried several options with double and single quotes but nothing works. Sometimes the program isn't started at all, sometimes the variables aren't getting through. I've tried:

MyObject.Run(""C:\\Path with\\some spaces\\program.exe" D:\\pathtoafile /PARAM:/para1="+var1+"\,/para2="+var2+"\,/para3="+var3+"\,/para4=\""+var4+"\"");
MyObject.Run('"C:\\Path with\\some spaces\\program.exe" D:\\pathtoafile /PARAM:/para1="+var1+"\,/para2="+var2+"\,/para3="+var3+"\,/para4=\""+var4+"\"');
MyObject.Run("'C:\\Path with\\some spaces\\program.exe' D:\\pathtoafile /PARAM:/para1="+var1+"\,/para2="+var2+"\,/para3="+var3+"\,/para4=\""+var4+"\"");
