Theme installation with blank spaces in the path

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hi all,

I have a very simple application that is setting the PPC theme using the
following command:
"\Windows\wceload.exe /noaskdest /noui /nouninstall /delete 0
\path\to\my\theme\theme.tsk"

It's working well when there is no spaces in the theme path but if it does
not seem to work when I add some spaces (for example if the theme is in
program files).
Under windows I know that the spaces needs to be replace with "\ " but is it
also the case in PPC?

Thanks in advance for your help.

You need to wrap the path in quotes, e.g. from C++ you would use
"\"\\path\\to\\my\\theme\\theme.tsk\""
