Yep, classic problem for windows. The problem is that space bewteen
"Program" and "Files" in the path. The space character is often a
delimiter in strings; it is likely that something here is using it as
a delimiter when you want it embedded. The easiest solution is to put
everything you need in directories with no spaces in the names.
