Hello,

Thanks for the quick reply, but I don't think its what I was looking for. I
am not using any custom code for the bootstrapper or UI.
I am using the standard bundle and trying to send (as an argument) to an
executable package the source path from where the bundle originally ran.
The problems appear when that location contains square brackets.
