uh, Mark?  This is Windoze we're talking about here.

Applications go into "Program Files", photos go into "My Pictures", 
etc.  Indeed, all user stuff goes into "My Documents" under the 
userid's directory in (Ra help us) "Documents and Settings".

While I'll accept that the test suite might be considered a developer 
tool, and you are "shocked, SHOCKED" that a sophisticated user would 
install it in a path with such a moronic name, it is inevitable.

I would have put it in "Program Files" just for consistency with all 
the other Windoze applications.  (N.B. I keep a "no spaces allowed" 
directory tree under 'C:\' for all of _my_ code.)  No doubt at least 
one of your 12 ooTest snapshot downloaders will have done so as well.

I gather that fixing the real problem (ooTest dependence on non-space 
directory names) is infeasible, but I can see an enthusiastic Rexx 
programmer installing ooTest as an IVP.  Speaking of which, do we have 
an IVP other than RexxTry?
