There are two issues here: 1) file names with spaces are not supported, and indeed you cannot install such a package on Windows. Because make is used, this is pretty fundamental.
2) The parsing code for 00Index used by 'check' assumes whitespace separates the name and the title. In index files generated by R the separator is a tab, but demo indices are hand-crafted. You can use underlines in the file and demo names.
