Is it possible to pass a working directory with a space to the MSBuild EXEC team task?

Question

For the parameter, Commandyou can avoid the path through ", however this does not work if the parameter WorkingDirectoryhas a space.

Anyone have a solution?

Perhaps change the setting of my environment HOMEDRIVE\ HOMEPATHbefore invoking the build task, but this is terrible and probably not trivial.

There is no need to hide anything or do something special. This should work:

<Exec Command="Path_to_some_executable.exe" WorkingDirectory="Path to some directory\with spaces" />
