Research direction
Start with scripts/bundled_installer.ps1 and the bundled_installer entry point referenced in the report. Reproduce the Windows CMD installation from a path containing spaces, then trace the Python installation command that splits at C:\My. Done means the bundled installer completes successfully when its path includes spaces.
