LongPathToQuote
InstallShield 2023 » InstallScript Language Reference
The LongPathToQuote function places double quotation marks around a long file name or removes the double quotation marks from a long file name.
For an explanation of long file names, see Long File Names.
Add double quotation marks to long file names that contain spaces before passing the long file names to the command line. You must remove the double quotation marks from long file names before converting them to short file names using the LongPathToShortPath function. If you do not, the quoted long file name remains intact.
Note:This function adds quotation marks only if there is a space character in the file name. For example, quotation marks are not added around C:\\ThisismyApp because it is a long file name without a space.
