Problem with spaces in directory names

Question

Tom,

I'm a student at the University of Utah working with Ganesh, taking over where Carson left off. I've been working on the samples and noticed that I had a problem with spaces in folder names. I've renamed the folder to not have spaces and all works like a charm.

In ChessBoard I was just getting a message: "Bulid failed."

Here was the the contents of the "Arguments" tab:

PUSHD M:\School\UofU\GaneshResearch\MS Chess Samples\Managed\SimpleBank

msbuild SimpleBank.sln /p:Configuration=Debug 1> M:\School\UofU\GaneshResearch\MS Chess Samples\Managed\SimpleBank\taskdir.0000008\out 2> M:\School\UofU\GaneshResearch\MS Chess Samples\Managed\SimpleBank\taskdir.0000008\err

When running on the cmd line I get:

The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

When I add quotes around the paths...

PUSHD "M:\School\UofU\GaneshResearch\MS Chess Samples\Managed\SimpleBank"

msbuild SimpleBank.sln /p:Configuration=Debug 1> "M:\School\UofU\GaneshResearch\MS Chess Samples\Managed\SimpleBank\taskdir.0000008\out" 2> "M:\School\UofU\GaneshResearch\MS Chess Samples\Managed\SimpleBank\taskdir.0000008\err"

I get no errors.

But for now, I've just renamed my folder to not contain spaces and it work.

Thanks,

JoeM
