Remarks

Many registration programs require strings to be in a special format in order to work. For instance, the files used by regedit.exe (.reg / .vbr) use back slash characters ("\") to indicate special characters using character escapes. In order for regedit.exe to interpret a file path correctly, each back slash must be repeated to form the correct character escape ("\\"). For more information on character escapes, see Character Escapes. In CreatePkgDef, EscapePath formats a string containing a file path by replacing single back slash characters ("\") with double back slash characters ("\\"). However, other classes that implement EscapePath can perform whatever string conversion is required.
