Description Alex Chapiro CLA 2006-07-07 14:44:57 EDT 
Sometimes (rarely enough to be  not reported so far:-) if directory where Eclipse installed includes spaces, spawner just fails to launch anything displaying message on the console:
(Exec error:%1 is not a valid Win32 application)

Patch which fixes the problem

Just embrace full path for the starter with double quotation marks to avoid ambigousity.

Thanks, Alex. I'll take a look.
Comment 3 Doug Schaefer CLA 2007-05-24 11:07:23 EDT 
Need to check for spaces everywhere with the spawner.
Comment 4 Doug Schaefer CLA 2007-06-06 11:58:41 EDT 
I've applied the patch. Mind you I wasn't able to reproduce the problem. For some reason the starter started up with spaces correctly even without the quotes. Must be some Windows magic or something...
