As per the title, installing CFB3.1 on a Windows machine you still can't have a space in the folder name. By default all software should go to Program Files for 64bit applications or Program Files (x86) for 32 bit.

The only way to install into these paths is to change to program~1 or program~1.

This type of problem was common 10/15 years ago but shouldn't exist in 2016.

You can type a path with a space in it rather than choosing one.

Voted but 20+ years ago. Long file names were introduced in 1994.
