How to run a Scheduled Task that does not execute if their are spaces in folder path?

[AdamDoubleYou]

Hello and thank you in advance for the help!

I'm importing photos to an application via the task scheduler on windows server 2016 standard. The issue is that when i add an argument, the script does not execute if there is a space in my path.

I have confirmed that my code works properly with no spaces and I rename the folders to have no spaces. So this works:

source:folder folder:C:\ProfilePhotos\UserPhotos\ProfilePictures\ domain:HC nameTyperofileproperty property:tkid crop:bottom pulseConnection:"Data Source=MyServerName01-DEV;Initial Catalog=Pulse;Integrated Security=True"

However, I need to retain the spaces in the folders. (note the spaces in User Photos & Profile Pictures):

source:folder folder:C:\ProfilePhotos\User Photos\Profile Pictures\ domain:HC nameTyperofileproperty property:tkid crop:bottom pulseConnection:"Data Source=MyServerName01-DEV;Initial Catalog=Pulse;Integrated Security=True"

I have tried the following variations of adding single and double quotes but to no avail:

source:folder "folder:C:\ProfilePhotos\User Photos\Profile Pictures\" domain:HC nameTyperofileproperty property:tkid crop:bottom pulseConnection:"Data Source=MyServerName01-DEV;Initial Catalog=Pulse;Integrated Security=True"

source:folder 'folder:C:\ProfilePhotos\User Photos\Profile Pictures\' domain:HC nameTyperofileproperty property:tkid crop:bottom pulseConnection:"Data Source=MyServerName01-DEV;Initial Catalog=Pulse;Integrated Security=True"

source:folder folder:"C:\ProfilePhotos\User Photos\Profile Pictures\" domain:HC nameTyperofileproperty property:tkid crop:bottom pulseConnection:"Data Source=MyServerName01-DEV;Initial Catalog=Pulse;Integrated Security=True"

source:folder folder:'C:\ProfilePhotos\User Photos\Profile Pictures\' domain:HC nameTyperofileproperty property:tkid crop:bottom pulseConnection:"Data Source=MyServerName01-DEV;Initial Catalog=Pulse;Integrated Security=True"

source:folder "'folder:C:\ProfilePhotos\User Photos\Profile Pictures\'" domain:HC nameTyperofileproperty property:tkid crop:bottom pulseConnection:"Data Source=MyServerName01-DEV;Initial Catalog=Pulse;Integrated Security=True"

source:folder "folder:'C:\ProfilePhotos\User Photos\Profile Pictures\'" domain:HC nameTyperofileproperty property:tkid crop:bottom pulseConnection:"Data Source=MyServerName01-DEV;Initial Catalog=Pulse;Integrated Security=True"

"source:folder folder:'C:\ProfilePhotos\User Photos\Profile Pictures\'" domain:HC nameTyperofileproperty property:tkid crop:bottom pulseConnection:"Data Source=MyServerName01-DEV;Initial Catalog=Pulse;Integrated Security=True"

"source:folder folder:C:\ProfilePhotos\User Photos\Profile Pictures\" domain:HC nameTyperofileproperty property:tkid crop:bottom pulseConnection:"Data Source=MyServerName01-DEV;Initial Catalog=Pulse;Integrated Security=True"

source:folder folder:"'C:\ProfilePhotos\User Photos\Profile Pictures\'" domain:HC nameTyperofileproperty property:tkid crop:bottom pulseConnection:"Data Source=MyServerName01-DEV;Initial Catalog=Pulse;Integrated Security=True"

Here is my configuration:

The Program/Script is a path to an executable.
The argument contains the path which is having issues.

How can i run the argument with spaces in the folder path? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
