Description

This is is just a very small change that I needed to make to get the Windows Terminal QMK profile to work. Not sure if this file is used for anything besides Windows Terminal, but I needed to add the quotes since my install path had a folder name with a space in it.

From https://www.msys2.org/ installation docs:

  1. Enter your desired Installation Folder (short ASCII-only path on a NTFS volume, no accents, no spaces, no symlinks, no subst or network drives, no FAT).

There are some more details stashed elsewhere in either their docs, or issue tracker around the topic. There was also #27. Supporting such a setup that the underlying tech doesnt fully support isnt super high up on the priority list.

Currently the installer does not actively block installing to such locations, maybe at some point it will be updated to reject such locations.
