Install locks on "The provided destination folder has invalid characters"

Some Yahoo

Running the 18C installer on Windows

Any attempt to set a folder - even the default - yields

"The provided destination folder has invalid characters"

I have tried folders that exist and ones that would need to be created, but no dice.

my folder: c:\Program files\Oracle\18\

OK I found it. The name cant have any spaces. What a 1980's problem!

No its not.

It is a parameter not encapsulated problem.

c:\Program files\Oracle\18\ is parsed as 2 parameters with parameter 1 as c:\Program and parameter 2 as files\Oracle\18\.

"c:\Program files\Oracle\18\" is encapsulated and parsed as a single parameter.
