Windows Miniforge error when username has a space #3

Description

One of the issues that occurred with one of the participants is that their installation did not work because they have a space on their user name, e.g. Name Surname. The Miniforge installer simply doesn't work.

An alternative is:

  • Create a folder called miniconda3 in C:\ (i.e. at the root of the C drive) -- this should work, even without admin permissions.
  • Then start the Miniforge installer and at the step when it asks for the path to install, choose C:\miniforge3.
  • Everything else should work from there

Need to test this again on a spare Windows machine and also update the instructions.
