[wpkg-users] office 2013 package+ The parameter is incorrect

[Marco Schmidt]

I forgot to mention:

Don't forget the quotes around the strings where variables are used.
Otherwise everything will break, if you change the content of the
variable to something with space inside.

Spaces in filename and filepathes are common under Windows.

For example:
<install cmd='"%EXE-SOURCE%\setup.exe" /adminfile
"%MSP-SOURCE%\myoffice2013.msp"' />

Greetings ...
 Marco
