Problem with '$' character
Hi,
As a part of Installation, we are asking the user to provide a password for the a feature of ours. Now the problem occurs when the user is using '$'(dollar character) in this pass string. After installation, our product is unable to start due to the dollar sign in password.
Sample Scenerio:
Username: SomeName
Password: 123$5
Now lets say we are running some command like this
Start SomeService user=SomeName pwd=$123$5
This is where the problem is occurring.
I'm new to forums and I couldn't search in existing forums due to '$' sign 😞
Any help is appreciated.

InstallAnywhere variables are defined as to be between two dollar character, so it looks that for some reason, InstallAnywhere tries to interpret your input as a variable ($123$ which should revert to null as the variable doesn't exist), thus the odd behavior.

Did you manage to find a solution/workaround?

Nope. I'm talking to product management to see if we can allow only alpha-numeric for now. Kinda suxs to do so 😞
