Hello, I am using vb to select a number of files from a number of directories and then write the file path to a text file called sample.txt My sample.txt currently has one line in it that looks like this. "c:\temp\New Folder\test.msi" I am then running the following batch code. @FOR /F %%a IN (c:\temp\sample.txt) DO msiexec /i %%a I am getting the following error, that the installation path could not be found, I cant help notice that in the command window the command it is trying to run is as follows. msiexec /i "c:\temp\New Seems as though the spaces in the path are messing it up, but i have got the path in quotes?? Can anyone speculate as to what the problem here might be? Thanks

Try: @FOR /F %%a IN (c:\temp\sample.txt) DO msiexec /i "%%a"

@FOR /F "delims=" %%a IN (c:\temp\sample.txt) DO msiexec /i %%a
