spaces in a batch file

[bitwise]

Quick question, how do I use a space in a batch file in a path to a file name?

I'm trying to install DOTNET framework from a batch file. The path to the installer has spaces in the directory names. I do not have control over this. The path is:

DIAGNOSTIC\WINDOWS UPDATES\NET Framework\v2.0\

There are 2 spaces in the above file name and running the install command from a batch file errors out because of the spaces. How can I "escape" these spaces in batch?

thanks

Try putting quote marks round it like this:-

"DIAGNOSTIC\WINDOWS UPDATES\NET Framework\v2.0\"

You need to put quotes around the file name and path.
