msbuild: /p: or /property: but be ware of the equals sign

From [WayBack] How do I pass this common property to MSBuild using TeamCity? – Stack Overflow, I learned you can pass properties to msbuild using the /p:propertyname=value or /property:propertyname=value syntax (where you can quote "value" when needed):
I am using the TeamCity Visual Studio runner. I want to add a setting that is not accessible from Visual Studio./Property:FileAlignment=4096I typed that directly into the build step “Command line
However, when passing these parameters to batch files first, be aware that they can strip equals signs from parameters: [WayBack] windows – Preserving “=” (equal) characters in batch file parameters – Stack Overflow
I bumped into this when passing properties to https://bitbucket.org/jeroenp/wiert.me/src/tip/Run-Dependend-rsvars-From-Path.bat
