Description

**Describe the bug**
Just after installing the application on Ubuntu 24.04, trying to run the application causes a crash with the error, "LaunchProcess: failed to execvp: /opt/Azure". This error is caused by the spaces in application path, "/opt/Azure IoT Explorer Preview". Changing the path without spaces fixes the issue.

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Download the .deb file from https://github.com/azure/azure-iot-explorer/releases
2. Install the .deb file as dpkg -i {download-path}/azure-iot-explorer_0.15.12_amd64.deb
3. Run the applicaton, $azure-iot-explorer
4. See error

**Expected behavior**
Launch of the Application with graphical interface.

**Desktop (please complete the following information):**
- OS: Linux
- Ubuntu 24.04
- 0.15.12
