    c# uses double slashes to escape and mean a regular slash; it is interpreting \s to be a special char that doesn't exist; is new line, \t is tab, you can look it up all the escapes with google.

    a drive path might be c:\\program Files\\Adobe Acrobat\\blah.exe to use in C#.

    so your server name needs to be escaped the same way... machinename\\instancename, like Lowell\\SQLExpress.
