installation fails under windows for users with a space in their usernames

[mikapfl]

Hi,

I tried installing Reel under windows as per the instructions. Running the setup script seems to work, but starting Reel doesn't work, and the error message indicates that the problem is a space in the program's path, which happens because my username has a space in it. Probably something needs more quoting? Sorry, I have no clue about windows so can't diagnose the problem further.

Cheers,

Mika

The full message in the cmd window when trying to start Reel is:

Opening Reel 1.0...
Der Befehl "C:\Users\Hein" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder
konnte nicht gefunden werden.
Drücken Sie eine beliebige Taste . . .

The user name here is "Hein Mück".

The content of my Run_Reel file is:

@ECHO off 
TITLE Reel 
CD C:\Users\Hein M�ck\PycharmProjects\Reel\Reel1.0\ 
ECHO Opening Reel 1.0... 
C:\Users\Hein M�ck\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe Refinement_evaluator_ver1.0.py 
PAUSE 
EXIT 

It also looks like the "ü" in my username broke.

Hi Mika
I can change the batch file to include quotation marks around the path, but I am currently not sure how to fix the issue with special characters. However, I can add a note in the instructions, both the README.md and the quick guide, so users may fix the issue manually.

I think the special characters are actually fine, quotation marks fixed everything for me. I guess notepad can't show the special characters, but windows finds the file anyway.

I see, well that's great!
