mmarable Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 What about adding in the escape characters, quotee?http://unattended.msfn.org/intermediate/me...s/runonceex.htm» Applications that use Quotations You will find that if you add additional " " quotation marks in the REG ADD entries, it won't be imported to the Windows Registry. To work around this, use a backslash \" for every quotation you intend to add, for example:%KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "\"%systemdrive%\install\AdobeReader6\Adobe Reader 6.msi\" /qn" /fBy doing this, you can execute applications that contain spaces in the filename, or application switches that need to be enclosed in quotations.If there is an application that has a series of complicated switches with lots of quotation marks, consider putting them into a separate .cmd file instead and launching from RunOnceEx, because it would get too messy putting those switches directly into RunOnceEx.
