[INSTALLDIR]. You don't see [INSTALLDIR]\ .

Aside from all the other good points which folks have made, if there was some
reason to do the following:
'/k "[INSTALLDIR]"/myprogram.exe'
Is the second double quote above in the wrong place, and should be moved to
the end of the path?
'/k "[INSTALLDIR]/myprogram.exe"'
