Submitted:	1 Apr 2005 13:41	Modified:	30 May 2005 12:53

Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Administrator	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	1.0.19	OS:	Windows (Windows 2000 SP4)
Assigned to:	Vladimir Kolesnikov	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
If mysqld is installed as a service with a name containing spaces, the name needs to be quoted during installation and manipulation. This is not honored by the Configure Service panel of the Administrator

How to repeat:
Install MySQL to C:\Program Files\MySql\MySQL 4.0.24
C:\Program Files\MySql\MySQL 4.0.24\bin\mysqld.exe --install "MySQL 4.0.24"

In the windows services manager, the Path to Executable is listed as
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL 4.0.24\bin\mysqld.exe" "MySQL 4.0.24"

Run Administrator
Edit something in the Service Control/Configure Service panel
Apply Changes

The Path to Executable becomes
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL 4.0.24\bin\mysqld.exe" MySQL 4.0.24

Note the missing quotes around the service name

Suggested fix:
Quote the service name when changes are made on the Configure Service panel
