Answer 1

PowerShell example Command:

unzipRelease –Src '$ReleaseFile' -Dst '$Destination'

Here the File Path is set in variable or writing directly in the command should include the quotes like above.

If you have any path which includes backslashes like:

"C:\users\delsg\"

When writing above path in PowerShell commands, rewrite it like: "C:\\users\\delsg\\"

Few other examples were:

It works with single quotes. Command (or PowerShell) will take off the double quotes unless they're back slashed. Or put it in a script. Or pass the argument list as an array.

powershell Start-Process -Verb runas cmd '/k dir c:\'  
  
powershell Start-Process -Verb runas cmd \"/k dir c:\\\"  
  
powershell Start-Process -Verb runas cmd /k,dir,c:\
