Priority:  major     |   Component:  Package

 If the OSGeo4W.bat command shell initialising script is run from a
 location with spaces in the directory path, then it will fail. This issue
 is commonly encountered when using the standalone QGIS installer (1.8.0.1)
 as the default Windows install path is C:\Program Files\Quantum GIS...

 The following QGIS bug report gives modifications to two of the batch
 files called in the initialisation sequence (osgeo4w.bat and o-help.bat)
 that appear to solve the problem.
