Also, just a supplemental note to what Neil already laid out there, you don't have to resolve those quotes in the case of pointing to a file, if you know how to set it up correctly...
Value='"[INSTALLDIR]runme.bat"' On the outside there is a single quote followed by a double quote, likewise on the backend a double quote followed by single quote. Say you wanted to pass in extra args to that bat file, I'll just make some up... Value='"[INSTALLDIR]runme.bat" /abc' Point being, double quotes go around the file-path and the Value attribute is actually surrounded by singles instead of doubles in this case, just a nifty little thing to know I think.
