New submission from DMI-1407 <dmi-1...@live.de>:
If the windows installer (Python 3.8.9 64bit exe) is run in quiet mode and the
TargetDir option is used, then the last quote (") symbol gets escaped if the
path ends with an backslash (\).
Example: /quiet TargetDir="D:\pyt hon\" AssociateFiles=0
Result: TargetDir=hon\" AssociateFiles=0
this raises the error that the path contains a invalid character... (the quote
ofc)
Example: /quiet TargetDir="D:\pyt hon" AssociateFiles=0
Result: installs correctly
so in general "D:\pyt hon" indicates a file thats named "pyt hon" where "D:\pyt
hon\" indicates a folder.
whatever "D:\pyt hon\" should be valid and i dont understand why the first
backslash does not escape the p and leads to "D:pyt hon" ...
its really annoying, pls do at least write a notice into the docs that the
installer behaves like this. :/
