Attached file spaces in path (deleted) —
Our new Windows 64-bit image (bug 781277) uses the default install paths for the Microsoft toolchain which contains spaces and parenthesis: /c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0 Spaces and parenthesis in the path cause the build to fail. See the attachments for log snippets illustrating the failure from a WINNT 6.1 x86-64 try build. Attempts to double-quote and escape the paths in the mozconfig were unsuccessful.

This is unfortunate -- I was hoping to disable 8.3 filename generation on these images, because it can speed up the build by a significant percentage.
