Spaces are being replaced with "%20" strings

[MarshallOfSound]

As per this issue here raised on my repository. MarshallOfSound/Google-Play-Music-Desktop-Player-UNOFFICIAL-#200

The short of it is, for whatever reason the Russian version of Windows 7 (not sure about other versions) doesn't like the % sign in the file name when launching through Update.exe. The problem here is that I didn't put those % signs there, they used to be spaces and this module run some kind of escape over the filename.

Can this behaviour be changed so that these % signs do not appear?

This is a bug in Squirrel.Windows that I need to fix, you can work around it by making sure your executable name doesn't have spaces

@paulcbetts Ah, I wasn't sure which repo was responsible 👍

Is there any way to keep the productName with spaces but have the exe name with spaces?

EDIT: Would I be correct in saying that is what the exe option is for?

@MarshallOfSound In fact, it's not really a multi-platform way to make spaces in the names (also as some unicode symbols, pretty anything but [a-zA-Z0-9]). All of that %20 instead of space symbol and other percent-encoding stuff is really common in URIs, so it's kinda mandatory to use [a-zA-Z0-9] symbols only (for any multi-platform releases).

No, this is just a stupid bug in Squirrel.Windows that I haven't fixed

@paulcbetts will it be handled as a part of Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows#603, Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows#544 and Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows#414?

Fixed in squirrel.windows.
