Install script breaks when username contains one or more spaces. #371

Closed CriticalSteffen closed 1 year ago

CriticalSteffen commented 3 years ago

There is only one user account I set up on the system: Malware Analyst

Meanwhile, it appears the script attempted to install as the Malware user, which doesn't exist:

wrong_user

As you can see, these files were extracted into the c:\users\Malware directory instead of the c:\users\Malware Analyst directory. This may be the cause of the problem.

This appears to be caused by the fact that the username contains a space.

As a result, the installation failed.

Thank you for your feedback! We've been working on major updates to FLARE VM over the last year. The now revamped FLARE VM has just been released and will make the project more open and maintainable. Please check out our blog post at https://www.mandiant.com/resources/blog/flarevm-open-to-public and give the new installation a try.

If this problem still persists with the new installation, please report:

Please note that we use this message to close all legacy issues in this repository. We look forward to your feedback and support for the next generation of FLARE VM.
