Issue with setting node version

[vigneshdv]

I have installed nvm under the path:
C:/Program Files/nvm

After installing I ran the following command to install latest version of node:
nvm install latest all

I then ran the following command to set the node version I wanted to use:
nvm use v0.10.34

It showed the following error message

From the error message I think the issue is that the file path to nvm/node contains space i.e. the space in the between "Program Files" of the file path where I have installed them.

Running the following command also threw a similar error:

I presume the file paths cannot handle spaces between them. A simple fix on this would be great.

There are a lot of users successfully installing to C:\Program Files, so I it's unlikely to be an escaping issue. You shouldn't even have to do any of this if you used the installer, which sets up the PATH for you. Did you use the manual installation?

The second example is an error with the syntax you're typing in. It should be C:\>"%NVM_HOME%\v0.10.34\node.exe -v"... notice the quotes.

Which version of Windows are you running?

[vigneshdv]

I ran the installer, setting the installation directory to install inside C:\Program Files.
I'm running Windows 7. The PATH variables were set via the installer.

I have the same error on win7...
And I find out why.
The nodejs folder can have a space like "C:\Program Files". But, the folder of nvm-windows can't !

This problem is caused by changing the nvm instllation directory to "C:\Program Files\nvm".
Remove and re-install nvm-windows to some place like "c:\nvm" will be ok.

by the way, nvm-windows is much better than nvmw, really good job.

I can confirm either the same bug, or s similar one. However, I can also confirm the work around by @butaixianran above works fine.

From the errors I got, the execution of 'nvm use 0.10.35' got hung up on the fact that my Username is Grant D. Vallance ... A clue?

Thank you @butaixianran and thankyou @coreybutler for a very useful piece of software. Appreciated.
