The fundamental problem is that Microsoft cpp command line parsing rules indicate that a backslash followed by a quote is a quote, otherwise, it is literal. So this:
Is received as
c:"at argument parsing time. Of course, this is a bit more complicated asOpen Herealso uses-Command. So:Becomes
c:" -command 1+1as the argument value to-workingdirectory. And-commandmust be last in the command line.Fix is to add a hidden switch for the purpose of the
Open Herecontext menu called-RemoveWorkingDirectoryTrailingCharacter. This allowsOpen Here's command line to pad the path:Now all the args can get parsed appropriately as the working directory path never ends with a trailing backslash.
