<ul></ul><p>This is an issue with the Windows installation of QGIS. The spaces-in-path-names problem has been debated in the MinGW project that maintains MSYS. See <a class="external" href="http://sourceforge.net/p/mingw/bugs/1109/?limit=10&page=2#3208">http://sourceforge.net/p/mingw/bugs/1109/?limit=10&page=2#3208</a></p>
<p>They advise not to put msys.bat in a folder where the path name contains spaces.</p>
<p>But since QGIS (and thus MSYS) installs into the "Program Files" folder (as do nearly all Windows programs), it would be good to provide a modified copy (fixed as Jessica suggests above) of msys.bat in the QGIS Windows installer.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #9751: MSYS shortcut doesn't handle path with spaceshttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/9751?journal_id=505952014-05-05T01:58:18ZThad Keroskythadknull+qgis@gmail.com
<ul></ul><p>If you quote all of the executables in the msys.bat vendor file, especially rxvt.exe, then the program goes away on Windows XP.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #9751: MSYS shortcut doesn't handle path with spaceshttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/9751?journal_id=526022014-06-21T01:07:39ZJürgen Fischerjef@norbit.de
