Problem passing arguments to exe file

Visual Studio code version: 1.41.1

PoshTools version: [5.7.0] - (1-18-2020)

Packaged exe is not accepting input parameter values with space in it. For example:

script:

[CmdletBinding()] 
param 
(
    [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)]
    [string]$myparam
)

Write-Host $myparam

‌

.\MyScript.exe -myparam "myparam value"
A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'value'.
At line:1 char:1

& { [CmdletBinding()]
```
- CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [], ParameterBindingException
- FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound ```

‌

.\MyScript.exe -myparam 'myparam value'
A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'value'.
At line:1 char:1

& { [CmdletBinding()]
```
- CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [], ParameterBindingException
- FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound

```

PS I:\WorkData\SCRIPTS\POWERSHELL\PowerShellProTools\Out>

‌

If the value is entered without any space, there is no error.

.\MyScript.exe -myparam 'myparam'
myparam
