All three CRs about the same issue until we finally fixed it properly.

The decoding algorithm is described at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-language/parsing-c-command-line-arguments?view=msvc-170&redirectedfrom=MSDN. You need to implement the reverse algorithm. It is not officially documented at MSDN. Fortunately, somebody contributed it to the blog post at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/twistylittlepassagesallalike/everyone-quotes-command-line-arguments-the-wrong-way.

I've added code do explicitly do this, but I don't any longer recall why (this was originally developed back in like May or April, it's just been sitting on the shelf waiting for me to get to the finish line). I do recall that I ran into problems when I treated the executable name as any other argument though, so *something* special needs to be done about it.

I'll try to go back in time and check my notes, command line histories and old commits to see if I can figure out what kind of issue I ran into. Otherwise the correct solution seem to be to quote the program name the same way.

Oh, my bad :) I didn't dive into the source code. I came across this discussion and recalled a similar issue in the installer code.

We quote the program name in the installer shims.
