MySQL Bugs: #3518: 'Configure Service' values reported incorrectly

Bug #3518	'Configure Service' values reported incorrectly
Submitted:	20 Apr 2004 17:59	Modified:	11 May 2004 15:08
Reporter:	Chris Gorton	Email Updates:
Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Administrator	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	1.0.3 Alpha	OS:	Windows (Windows 2003)
Assigned to:	Michael G. Zinner	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
Doesn't seem to be able to cope with spaces in the path.

Installed in: "f:/Program Files/mysql/bin/mysqld-nt.exe"

this appears as:

Section Name: Files/mysql/bin/mysqld-nt.exe
&
Path to binary: f:/Program

in the Configure Service screen, I haven't noticed this having any adverse affect on other funtionality but you never know.

How to repeat:
Use MySQL Administrator on a system where mysql is installed in the program files directory.

OK I was just logging another bug and have spotted an adverse affect of this.

Changes to startup variables are ineffective (see bug #3519) MySQL Administrator _is_ creating a new section for changes made but because the sevice name has been determined as "Files/mysql/bin/mysqld-nt.exe" they are ineffective on a subsequent restart.

So this does need to be fixed!
