Jpackage Windows shortcuts

[Scott Palmer]

I'm creating a MSI installer. My application name did have spaces in it. I
can confirm that changing the --name parameter to something 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]

Regards,

Scott
