Macro value setting

I try to set the value of a macro from the value of another macro. I using the "Set macro" step i.e

macro1 value = %macro2%

Macro2 value is "file://///S-BUSINESS/S-Bus%%20Global%%20Support/DRIVERS/Bundled%%20Packs/PowerLogic/PowerLogic_41604004_BETA_SITEID_22280.zip"


I want the value of macro1 to be the same as the value of macro2. I expect to see the double % characters but instead I single % characters and therefore I get the error "error parsing macros"

How can preserve the double % when setting micro1?

[vbld_EscapeString("%macro1%")]

or

[vbld_EscapeString(vbld_AllMacros()("macro1").Value )]

or a Run Script step with VBScript code like

Application.Macros(vbldMacroTypeTemporary).Add "macro2", vbld_AllMacros()("macro1").Value
