Q# compilation fails if user name contains a blank space

[aviralwal]

I am trying to run the TeleportationSample in Samples > 0.Introduction folder of QsharpLibraries solution. After setting the project as Startup project, I perform the build operation F5. But the build fails with error as :-

This might be the issue of dotnet CLI unable to reach the complete path as the correct path is C:/Users/test user/...(the path that follows) but it reads till C:\Users\test and then fails.

I am fairly new to both Quantum computing and dotnet environment so any help is highly appreciated.

The problem is with the account name "test user". Create a new user without space and test, it should work.

@aviralwal did you find a solution? I am getting the same build error........

[tcNickolas]

The issue has been fixed in the latest release (0.2.1806.2802-preview). Please update your project nugets to that version.

This was actually fixed on 0.2.1806.3001-preview. Sorry for the confusion.

Instructions can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/quantum/quantum-installconfig?view=qsharp-preview&tabs=tabid-vs2017 If you face any problems, I suggest posting a question in http://stackoverflow.com using the q# tag. Include the text of the error you're getting.

Can it be that there's a similar error also when your username contain an accented character (like in "Zoltán")? When I try to build the samples I get errors of this sort for all projects:

SimpleIsingSample

There are a few with error code -2 too:

And yes, I've opened https://github.com/Microsoft/Quantum/issues/150 for this.
