Include multiple external jar files in classpath

I have a MyProgram.jar for which I need some exernal jar-files. It is not possible to move these files, so I need to reference them. I tried:

java -cp C:\Test\MyProgram.jar;C:\OtherLocation\other.jar test.myprogram.UI

(and I need some more jars)

However, when I try this, I get the exception:
Could not find or load main class Files

The program starts if I leave out the OtherLocation, like this:
java -cp C:\Test\MyProgram.jar test.myprogram.UI
but then I'm missing libraries.

It looks like the question below, but apparently this does not work for me. What am I doing wrong?

Do you have empty spaces in the _OtherLocation_ path ? – Arnaud Feb 09 '16 at 16:11
Yes, that is not allowed? Can I somehow escape it? – Century Feb 09 '16 at 16:13
Look at the duplicate topic, it has many solutions for this. – Arnaud Feb 09 '16 at 16:14

Ugh, I'm sorry, I have tried so many things today regarding the classpath that I totally overlooked this. Thank you for helping me :) – Century Feb 09 '16 at 22:17
