VBS Copy and Rename A File Error

I have a file downloaded to TEMP which needs to copied to Firefox directory. However, I keep getting this error.

Error: Bad file name or number`
Code: 800A0034

oFSO.MoveFile "C:\TEMP\Firefox\update.log", """C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\uninstall.update""" '// Rename file`

I am using three set of quotes, because two wasn't working. Using two quotes gives the following error

Expected end of statement
Code: 800A401`

Your problem is the use of """. The destination location doesn't need to have escaped " characters around it.

If you change it to the following, I've tested and confirmed it works:

oFSO.MoveFile "C:\TEMP\Firefox\update.log", "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\uninstall.update"

oFSO.MoveFile "C:\TEMP\Firefox\update.log", "C:\Progra~1\Mozill~1\uninstall\uninstall.update" '// Rename file
