Get-InstallCommand - spaces in filename

[Boss-man]

I have a $SetupFile variable as this: msiexec /i "Print Settings 1.0.1.msi" /q
The resulting $command is "1.0.1.msi", which is not right.

Don't know if spaces in the filename can be handled somehow.

It depends on how you defined the variable, did you surround it with single quotes? e.g.
$SetupFile = 'msiexec /i "Print Settings 1.0.1.msi" /q'

I don't define it, it's in the source code in the Get-InstallCommand function. And it takes the value from the SCCM application install command.

Interesting :) Maybe I’m not handling escapes chars very well. I’ll take a look, thank you Sent from Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

Ben, you're splitting the $SetupFile line first by $InstallTech (.msi in this case) and then by a " " (space), that's why you end up with just "1.0.1.msi".
To be able to handle filenames with spaces your Get-InstallCommand function would require a different splitting logic. And I'm afraid it could not be very straightforward to come up with a one-fits-all version - I mean how do you tell whether a space is part of a filename or not?

Semi-confident this is now fixed in 2.0.19 branch @Boss-man
Replace Get-InstallCommand.ps1 in your module directory with the one from branch https://github.com/byteben/Win32App-Migration-Tool/tree/version-2.0.19 and let me know. Thank you.
