    Hi TIMOTHY_MANGAN ,

     

    ST_Parameters is based on ST_NonEmptyString. ST_NonEmptyString doesn't allow empty string at the beginning of the string.

    AppxManifest parameter doesn't need leading space because the system injects the space between the executable and the arguments.

    If you want to use quotes, you have the following options:

    Parameters='/patchfile: "%1"'
    Parameters="/patchfile: "%1""

     

    Thanks
    -Josue
