Problem Description: If you install Thunder into a folder with spaces like c:\Program Files\Thunder you can not start the defaultLocal CF Server because it fails to find it.

Steps to Reproduce: Install Thunder into a folder with spaces and install the embeded CF server with it.  Once installed go to the CF Servers tab and click Start Server for the defaultLocal server.

Actual Result: The server is not started and an error is given.  The error gives a partial folder path indicating the actual path was truncated at the space in "C:\Program Files\"

[defaultLocal]:Error: Could not find or load main class Files\ThunderBeta\ColdFusion\cfusion
[defaultLocal]:Error(03/24 at 02:16:41) Server is not responsive.

Expected Result: CF Server would load

Any Workarounds: I tried to put quotes around the path of the server but when you save the form it removes the quotes.  The only other is to uninstall and then install to a folder with no spaces in the name.

This is a known issue with ColdFusion server as well where we disallow the use of spaces for the server installation location. We should ideally have done the same for Builder but there is nothing much we can do about it right now. Let us know if this still is a big concern. (Comment added from ex-user id:sahoo)

Now it is showing warning message as "Spaces are not allowed in the installation directory. Choose a different directory". So closing it. (Comment added from ex-user id:sahoo)
