"failed to create process" when spaces in path #82

Closed MartinSGill closed 8 years ago

MartinSGill commented 8 years ago

Version: 0.4.0 Python: 3.5.1 (win x86)

When trying to use saws I get failed to create process, when python is installed "for all users" in the c:\program files (x86)\python folder.

Working on a hunch, I re-installed python in a folder without spaces in the path and this resolved the problem.

Hi, thanks for submitting this issue.

This might be a related Stack Overflow post:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24627525/fatal-error-in-launcher-unable-to-create-process-using-c-program-files-x86

I'm not sure there's much I can do to fix this, perhaps it might be helpful to add a note on the README for Windows users, pointing them to this ticket.
