Code:
os.execute([["start %HOMEPATH%\\appdata\\LocalLow\\Meta Interaction\\Dragon Cliff"]])


or

Code:
cmd = 'start "" "%HOMEPATH%\\appdata\\LocalLow\\Meta Interaction\\Dragon Clif" '
os.execute(cmd)

if that doesn't work escape the space just like you do the single backslash "\\Meta\ Interaction\\"
