why can't I install Qt to a directory with name contains whitespace

[zhongzhu]

anyone knows why? I hope I can install Qt to d:\program file\Qt but looks like it can't work.

because of qmake tool, it can recognize spaces in paths as I remember.

Hi,

maybe you could try Junction from www.sysinternals.com

I use that to easily change Qt versions:

d:\qt>junction *

D:\Qt\QtAct: JUNCTION
   Substitute Name: D:\Qt\4.5.3
 
D:\Qt\QwtAct: JUNCTION
   Substitute Name: D:\Qt\qwt-5.2

d:\qt>junction *
