I've got a projekt containing a installer class with the RunInstaller attribute set to 'yes'. When i try to install the product using a .msi created by Visual studio .NET 2003 with a target directory path contating blanks a FileNotFound Exception is thrown and during rollback the .InstallState file is not found. Everything works fine if there are no blanks in the path to the target directory. Any ideas how to handle blanks in the path?

Are you passing anything in CustomActionData?
