Right. I looked in the "bible" for writing ADMs-the MS whitepaper-and didn't find any reference to literals. You could try just putting the quotes in quotes (e.g. ""%ProgramFiles%\Outlook Express\setup50.exe" /APP:WAB /CALLER:WINNT /user /install" and see if it parses it correctly, but I kinda doubt it. Also, you could try using the standard escape character (\), as in "\"%ProgramFiles%\Outlook Express\setup50.exe\" /APP:WAB /CALLER:WINNT /user /install" again-that's just a shot in the dark.

Any advice greatly appreciated.
