[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-3838) Cannot install CDK. Installer prompts to setup VAGRANT_HOME if there is space in path and then it ignores it and fails

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3838?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Jan Richter commented on JBDS-3838: ----------------------------------- The workaround works reliably if you follow the instructions the installer gives you if VAGRANT_HOME is not in use. But there is an issue (which I just discovered while re-checking the workflow) - the contents of VAGRANT_HOME are not validated at all (JBDS-4058). The installer only checks for the existence of the variable, so unless the user actually uses a valid path without spaces, the installation will inevitably fail. There is also an issue with CDK, which seems to prevent it from running when the user has space in their name anyway (CDK-11). As for the detailed steps: - go to "Environment Variables" settings ( Control Panel -> System and Security -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables | or just use the start menu and search for "environment variables") - under "User variables for $username" select "New..." - Variable name: VAGRANT_HOME - Variable value: a valid path without spaces - keep clicking OK as long as there are windows that have the button - start up the installer and now you should be able to continue -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.11#64026)
