Error : dotnet iqsharp install

[CeciAc]

Hi team,
I moved this from here: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/quantum-docs-pr.ko-KR/issues/1

@k19812 commented 18 hours ago — with docs.microsoft.com
My Windows10 account folder name includes a 'White Space'. (ex : 'Acc A')
So I can't install and I get an error.
Renaming a Windows10 account forder name is too complicated and risky.
(C:\Users\Acc A -> C:\Users\AccA)
Is there any way to fix the problem?

Thank you!

Hi @natke

• Problem :
  My Windows10 account folder name is 'C:\Users\Sirius B'.
  But when I install it (dotnet iqsharp install), it doesn't recognize 'C:\Users\Sirius B', but it tries to recognize 'C:\Users\Sirius' Perhaps spacing is a problem.

• Error message :

Thank you @k19812,

I have reproduced the error when the user's home directory has a spaces in it.

I will raise an issue in the product repo, but in the mean time you can workaround this issue by installing the QDK in a user account that has no spaces.

@natke
Yes I know.
It's a big risk to rename my account folder.
Because there are already many development environments.
I hope to be able to install even if there are spaces.

I want to develop in 'python' on 'VS Code'. (Q# + Python + Deep Learning)
But now I am developing with 'C#' on 'Visual Studio 2019'. (Q# + C#)
I Love Q#
Thank you!
