How to write an msdeploy runcommand command that contains strings

Question

Hi I'm trying to write an msdeploy command that contains two strings within the runcommand part of the command.

msdeploy.exe -verb:sync -source:runCommand="^"c:\opensesame\opensesame.cmd^" ^"c:\windows\system32^"" -dest:auto

I was trying to escape the quotes with the carats.

Basically what's suppose to happen is opensesame is called and the path is passed to it so it can open the calculator.

I'm guessing I don't have the right escape character?

If runCommand is not given a full path (and only a full path) to a bat or cmd file, it will execute the command as-is on the server without uploading your bat/cmd file first. If you want to upload the script before executing it, you'll need to bake your parameters into the script and pass it without arguments to runCommand.
