Spaces cause split in path with PowerShell

Question

I\'m having an issue with powershell when invoking an exe at a path containing spaces.

PS C:\\Windows Services> invoke-expression \"C:\\Windows Services\\My

Answer 1

You can escape the space by using single quotations and a backtick before the space:

$path = 'C:\Windows Services\MyService.exe'
$path -replace ' ', '` '
invoke-expression $path
