Powershell script does not execute when being run in a folder with special character, for example C:\Test'1. If I run the powershell command from there, there is no issue, but executing the ps1 does not work.
I tried it with multiple type of script, on multiple machines and always same behavior. As soon as I rename the folder to remove the special character, it works fine.

May take some special handling if the apostrophe is really needed.

From "help about_Quoting_Rules":
Quotation marks are used to specify a literal string. You can enclose a string in single quotation marks (') or double quotation marks (").
Having only one single quote doesn't enclose anything. It only denotes the beginning of a literal string.
To run your example, try .\"c:\Test'1\xxx.ps1"
