This line:

Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\abc\abc.exe" & "C:\Users\xyz\Desktop\test_image.tif")

Runs the command

C:\Program Files (x86)\abc\abc.exeC:\Users\xyz\Desktop\test_image.tif

Which Windows will interpret as 

C:\Program

Try instead

  Run('"C:\Program Files (x86)\abc\abc.exe" ' & '"C:\Users\xyz\Desktop\test_image.tif"')

Which adds the necessary space & quotes & will be executed as

"C:\Program Files (x86)\abc\abc.exe" "C:\Users\xyz\Desktop\test_image.tif"
