Configure TeXnic Center with Sumatra

Question

so I've been trying for a while to configure those two programs, but I just can't get it to work. I always get the error: [ForwardSearch("%bm.pdf","%Wc",%l,0,0,... Cannot execute the command.

My settings are: The following are my settings.

Please add the full command you are using (the executable path) — papabravo, Oct 23 '13 at 19:05

@papabravo this is the executable path: "C:\Program Files (x86)\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.exe" -inverse-search ""C:\Programme (x86)\TeXnicCenter\TeXnicCenter.exe" /ddecmd "[goto('%f','%l')]"" — emmak, Oct 23 '13 at 19:32
@MarioS.E. yes that's what I used, I have no idea where I went wrong.. — emmak, Oct 23 '13 at 19:33
Have you tried to use C:\Program Files (x86)\TeXnicCenter\... instead of the the German version? — papabravo, Oct 23 '13 at 19:57

It does not work for me. After TeXnicCenter opens Sumatra, if I double click on a word, Sumatra displays the error "Cannot start inverse search command. Please check the command line in the settings". – Antonio Sesto Jul 15 '16 at 08:43
