| You need to use double quotes here because the command line interprets the first space as the end of a command. Putting double quotes around the path tells the command line to treat the entire text within the quotes as a single command. Of course Microsoft, in all of their wisdom, for some reason decided to use a folder with a space in its name (Program Files) as their default location for installing programs. |
