Not following the logic. 

I've confirmed that CreateProcess, GetCommandLine, and CommandLineToArgv do not
behave on windows in such a manner that would allow msiexec to use them
directly and produce the observed results on windows, i.e. that the xlviewer
and RPG maker installers both function.

So AFAICT, it cannot use a win32 api call to get argv correctly for all cases
that it can handle on windows. Does this not mean that the custom handling of
argv in this case should also result in a test case added to make sure it
doesn't break in the futre? Or is there some other api call that can be used
that will satisfy the required behaviour?
