odd, fwiw I didn't have that problem with --create-installer exe.
Possibly because I'm doing --create-image as a separate first step? The
space-squashing actually happens in that step, and then before either
--create-installer I put the spaces back into the exe and cfg filenames
... but possibly miss it *inside* a file and that just hasn't happened
to cause me a problem yet?

I'm creating a MSI installer. My application name did have spaces in

without spaces avoids the issue, though this is still clearly a bug
that needs to be fixed.
It also seems that uninstall does not work. When I attempt it I get
this error message from Add/Remove Programs:
[Window Title]
C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.exe
[Content]
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may
not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
[OK]
I can run C:\WINDOWS\System32\msiexec.exe, so I'm not clear on what
the real issue is. Maybe a bad message from Windows and the path that
can't be accessed is a parameter to msiexec??
I'm using Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.471]

Simple tests of --win-menu and --win-shortcut options on Windows 7

working for me. Shortcuts are created as expected when running

the exe or msi installer generated.
Can you share the full OS version and full command you use , perhaps
some combination of options is not working.
