No, replacing with double quotes does not work either. But at least LyX is

I've tried that instead but LyX crashes :-/

I think command.com has no idea about quoting arguments. Instead it is
probably up to the program to notice that an argument starts with a '"'
and then combine subsequent arguments... *sigh*. At least this is my
experience from a long time ago with .bat-files and some program on
Windows (possibly 98).
Indeed, might be a good time to re-install cygwin.
But.... OTOH, commands like "dir" apparently works with arguments that
have been quoted.
Anyway, maybe a wrapper program for starting LyX could be a solution on
Windows? (I.e., the program would parse the arguments and send them in a
proper way to the LyX executable).
IIRC, Joost is doing something like that in its windows package.
