Well, MANY programs suggest that they want to be a subdirectory of the LDraw
installation directory (although perhaps yours doesn't... at least LDLite,
LDAU and MLCad used to if they don't any more I dunno). That directory by
default is c:\ldraw so maybe the default dir/filepath in this case ought to be
c:\ldraw\ldglite\ldglite.exe
I know I install *everything* LDraw related under my ldraw install dir
(which happens to be different than the default, it's c:\shortprg\ldraw
because I too dislike the errant behaviour of some things when they hit
spaces in "Program Files", but I digress)
Hope that helps.
