Description Stewart C. Russell 2005-11-14 20:14:47 UTC

Installation routine fails if driver directory contains spaces, for instance
'Drivers/Windows XP/driver.inf'.

This can usually be fixed by renaming the directory to something without spaces,
or cd'ing to the directory containing the .inf file.

Suggested improvement would be to use Perl's File::Basename and File::Copy core
modules -- rather than shelling out using backticks -- as they both handle file
names without quoting issues.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ndiswrapper -i 'Drivers/Windows XP/driver.inf'

Actual Results:  
Installer fails with error message from basename

Expected Results:  
Installed the driver binaries
