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

There's a hack I've used since the Invoke-Expression works fine for me.

You could set the current location to the path with spaces, invoke the expression, get back to your previous location and continue:

$currLocation = Get-Location
Set-Location = "C:\Windows Services\"
Invoke-Expression ".\MyService.exe"
Set-Location $currLocation

This will only work if the exe doesn't have any spaces in its name.

Hope this helps
