IWP does not handle spaces in folder name #34

One observation when making multiple copies I've notices that spaces in the folder name don't work but putting like underline works fine.

Example: "E:\WP-5.0.1_WP7.2_PHP7 TEST" does not start Instant WordPress but "E:\WP-5.0.1_WP7.2_PHP7_TEST" does.

I've noticed the same thing after moving the IWP-v5.1.0-rc6-Win installation folder from my desktop to another folder with spaces in the name. After that, none of the buttons on the control panel would work. Fantastic program though!

This is an open issue for now.

Thanks to this discussion I was able to get it started by removing spaces in the folder structure.
I may have missed it, but this is probably a good tip to add to the FAQ Support page - https://github.com/corvideon/InstantWP/wiki/Troubleshooting-InstantWP-start-up-issues
