<div>I'm not convinced this is a "spaces in the name" issue. I think it is more likely a privileges/UAC issue. Vista and Win7 are very paranoid about allowing anyone except the trusted installer to write files to the Program Files directory.</div>

<br>
<br>
igem fails to install gems to the default install location (c:\Program<br>
Files\IronRuby 0.9.2) presumably because of the spaces.<br>
<br>
I can't recall the exact error message but something about "invalid<br>
characters in the path".<br>
<br>
It seems fine if you install ironruby to a path that doesn't contain spaces.<br>
<br>
Not sure whether this is a bug with rubygems or ironruby? Something<br>
should be escaping the space characters or wrapping in quotes.<br>
