Why does a silent installation fail when quotation marks are included in the path to the license file?

Best Answer

A silent installation will fail if quotation marks are included in the path to the license file while an automated installation is successful if quotation marks are included in the path to the license file. 
The installation log file will display:
Error: Unable to read license file.
"C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R201Xx\licenses\network.lic" (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)
Exiting with status -2
End - Unsuccessful.
