1752	A Space in the installation path name prevents simulation in OMShell	Pittiplatsch	Adrian Pop	"I installed OpenModelica 1.81 (r11643) in this path: {{{
""C:/Program Files (x86)/OpenModelica1.8.1/""
}}}

In OMShell I issued the following three commands:

 

{{{
>> loadModel(Modelica)
true
>> loadFile(""C:/Program Files (x86)/OpenModelica1.8.1/share/doc/omc/testmodels/dcmotor.mo"")
true
>> simulate(dcmotor,startTime=0.0,stopTime=10.0)
record SimulationResult
       resultFile = """",
       simulationOptions = ""startTime = 0.0, stopTime = 10.0, numberOfIntervals = 500, tolerance = 1e-006, method = 'dassl', fileNamePrefix = 'dcmotor', storeInTemp = false, noClean = false, options = '', outputFormat = 'mat', variableFilter = '.*', measureTime = false, cflags = '', simflags = ''"",
       messages = ""Simulation failed for model: dcmotor"",
       timeFrontend = 0.0,
       timeBackend = 0.0,
       timeSimCode = 0.0,
       timeTemplates = 0.0,
       timeCompile = 0.0,
       timeSimulation = 0.0,
       timeTotal = 0.0
   end SimulationResult;
}}}
 

This simulation fail does not happen if there are no spaces in the path name.

 

Please __allow spaces__ in the path name or - if infeasible - document more obviously that spaces are not allowed and/or hamper the user from installing in 'wrong' directories.

 

 

* ''__UPDATE__'''''': I repeated the installation and only now I've seen the message ""Please do not install OpenModelica in a directory that contains spaces (...)"". Maybe this bug is obsolete. But can't you allow spaces.... please, please!!! :-)"	defect	closed	blocker	1.14.0	Installation program		fixed	windows-specific	Pittiplatsch Adeel Asghar
