Fails to run on Win 10 if installed to path containing spaces

[j-richey]

After installing Unknown Horizons on Windows, launching the game from the desktop shortcut I get the following error:

Starting Unknown Horizons
output will be written to logfile "unknownhorizons-DATETIME.log"
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Press any key to continue . . .

When installing the game I changed the install path from C:\Unknown-Horizons to C:\Program Files\Unknown-Horizons. I suspect the space in the path is causing this problem.

Operating System: Windows 10 Home
Unknown Horizons version: Unknown-Horizons-2019.1.214-Setup-VC15-x86.exe obtained from http://unknown-horizons.org/downloads/

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run the Unknown Horizons installer: Unknown-Horizons-2019.1.214-Setup-VC15-x86.exe.
2. When prompted for an instillation location select C:\Program Files\Unknown-Horizons (or any location containing a space).
3. Launch the game from the desktop shortcut.

Expected Behavior

The game should run if installed to C:\Program Files. This is a common place to put Windows applications.

Workaround

I was able to run the game by editing the shortcut's path from:
"C:\Program Files\Unknown-Horizons\unknown-horizons\run_uh.bat"
to:
"C:\Program Files\Unknown-Horizons\python\python.exe" run_uh.py
