Passing TARGETDIR with spaces to custom installer

Hi,

I've created a custom installer for my setup project and is passing the
[TARGETDIR] parameter to installer like /TargetDir=[TARGETDIR] in
CustomActionData - but when [TARGETDIR] contains spaces my installer fails!

I've tried surrounding the [TARGETDIR] with " and ' but this only makes the
installer fails with another exception.

What do I do ??
