[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #62090] [octave forge] (io) Installation fails with spaces in path

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #62090 (project octave):

Thanks for testing. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that it would work if it
was installed in `C:\Program Files` on your PC.
As you can see from the error message in comment #0, the "GNU Octave" folder
could be converted to a short file name on your PC, the "Program Files" folder
could not.
To make that even "more sure", could you please run the following commands in
a CMD prompt and show the results?

C:
cd \
dir /X Program*
cd "\Program Files"
dir /X GNU*


As can be seen in comment #10, all parts of the path of the new installation
location could be converted to short paths. So, you wouldn't see issues with
spaces in paths in the first place (independent on the version of Octave).
