Problem with my Else statement

[SATATOM]

I have been working on this little project for a few days now and I cannot
figure out how to do this. I need to search a users hard drive for two
files; first in thier defualt locations. If they are both found in default
locations then they passed into the shell script and run, otherwise the parts
that are not in thier default locations are searched for and then passed into
the shell and run, else error messages for the file or files that were nto
found are sent to the user. Here is my code for this if you have any ideas
or tips please let me know.

Sub AA()
Dim sStr As String, bFound As Boolean
Dim i As Long
Dim exe_path As String
Dim config_path As String

exe_path = "C:\Program Files\RealVNC\vncviewer.exe"
config_path = "C:\temp\v4-5900.vnc"



sStr = ("Z -config ")
sStr = ("Z -config F")
bFound = False
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = "C:\"
.SearchSubFolders = True
.Filename = "vncviewer.exe"
.FileType = msoFileTypeAllFiles
If Dir(exe_path) <> "" Then GoTo ConfigSearch

Else

If .Execute() > 0 Then
For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
If InStr(1, .FoundFiles(i), "\vncviewer.exe", vbTextCompare) Then
bFound = True
sStr = Replace(sStr, "Z", .FoundFiles(i))
Shell sStr
Exit For
End If
Next i
If Not bFound Then _
MsgBox "RealVNC not found"
Else
MsgBox "RealVNC not found."
End If
End If
End With

ConfigSearch: 'label

With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = "C:\"
.SearchSubFolders = True
.Filename = "v4-5900.vnc"
.FileType = msoFileTypeAllFiles
If Dir(config_path) <> "" Then

Shell (exe_path & " -config " & config_path)
Else
If .Execute() > 0 Then
For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
If InStr(1, .FoundFiles(i), "v4-5900.vnc", vbTextCompare) Then
bFound = True
sStr = Replace(sStr, "F", .FoundFiles(i))
Shell sStr
Exit For
End If
Next i
If Not bFound Then _
MsgBox ".VNC File Not Found."
Else
MsgBox ".VNC File Not Found."
End If
End If
End With

End Sub

Thanks Tom, you have been a huge help. But there is one small problem that
im having, if the .vnc config file is not located in its default location it
gives an error saying cannot open specified config file. Not sure why this
isnt working, is it trying to open the config file before the vncviewer.exe?
Tom, if you get a chance to answer this great, but either way you have been
very helpful.

Thanks, Tom.

from what I can see, if the config file is found in the default location,
the

sStr1 = Config_path

so

sStr1 = "C:\temp\v4-5900.vnc"

and the shell would be

Shell C:\Program Files\RealVNC\vncviewer.exe -Config C:\temp\v4-5900.vnc

(for demo assuming vncviewer.exe is in the default).

Since you have a space in the path, perhaps it should be
Shell "C:\Program Files\RealVNC\vncviewer.exe" -Config C:\temp\v4-5900.vnc

You will have to play with it to see what works for spaces in the path of
either or both arguments.

(use the Command Prompt window)
