error: no matching function for call to 'std::basic_string<wchar_t>::basic_string(char [260])'|

First:
I just started learning C++ like 2 hours ago to aid my java program. I started this because of this link: http://mark.koli.ch/2009/12/uac-prompt-from-java-createprocess-error740-the-requested-operation-requires-elevation.html

Second:
I am a quick learner when it comes to programming, but I need examples.

Now here is my problem:

C:\Users\Timberwolf\Documents\C++ Projects\Tool Belt UAC Launcher\app.cpp|24|error: no matching function for call to 'std::basic_string<wchar_t>::basic_string(char [260])'|


and here is my code:

Any comments, help, and suggestion are welcome and appreciated.
