Try \\\\ instead of \\.

Meanwhile I tried a lot. Now I think it is something with the
backslash:

#commandstring = "dir"               # Don't work
commandstring = "cmd.exe /c dir"               # OK
#commandstring = "cmd.exe /c dir /w"            # OK
#commandstring = "cmd.exe /c dir c:\\Temp"      # Don't work
#commandstring = "cmd.exe /c \"dir c:\\Temp\""  # Don't work
puts commandstring

# Execute Command
print "Execute : >"
returnval = `#{commandstring}`
puts "<"

# Print Command Output
puts  "Output  : >" + returnval + "<"
