Question regarding the section [DirectoriesToPreserve] in the file installer.ini

If the relative path contains spaces, must I then use quotation marks as follows?:

[DirectoriesToPreserve]
PreserveDirectory1="App\AppName\big folders"

Or can I omit the quotation marks? Or is it possible to use the following code with a slash sign at the end of the code?

[DirectoriesToPreserve]
PreserveDirectory1=App\AppName\big folders\

Try it

I think you don't need to do anything special.

No quotes needed, nor trailing backslash

Don't use a trailing backslash with any of these things in PAL/PAI. It may do unexpected things for all save the root directory (i.e. X:\, which you shouldn't be using anywhere with PAI anyway).

Quotation marks are only needed for leading or trailing whitespace which would otherwise be stripped.
