Description

Where the Build Configuration name contains a space, MSBuild will interpret each distinct word as an additional parameter.

Easy solution is to wrap the name of the Build Configuration in double-quotes.

I shall implement the solution when I have time and issue another pull request for reintegration into the origin.

The issue identifies the MSBuild command-line invocation that handles a Build Configuration name, but no file or test is provided. Locate that invocation and reproduce the failure with a configuration containing spaces; done when the configuration is passed as one argument and the relevant verification succeeds.
