Problem Description: I'm an Adobe employee who knows a CF developer. He's annoyed that in the latest release of CF, he's unable to install to C:\Program Files. Attempting to do so returns an error, which was in turn put in place as a "resolution" to another bug, 3729274.
Steps to Reproduce:
- download the Coldfusion 11 English Windows trial installer at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=coldfusion
- install the trial on a Windows OS
- attempt to change the installation folder from it's default of C:\ to C:\Program Files
End user verbatim: "The default installation directory for Build is the root of C:\, not Program Files as one would expect. And when I specify program files, I get told that spaces are not allowed in the directory name."
Actual Result: Receive an error that spaces are not allowed in the directory name.
Expected Result: To resolve the core issue with the product preventing the server from starting when installed to a location with a space in the file path.
Any Workarounds: Install to a folder with a space in the file path.
