I haven't tested it yet, but freewrap 5.4 supposedly fixes the
"spaces in directory paths" problem:

This message announces the release of freeWrap version 5.4
The freeWrap program turns TCL/TK scripts into single-file binary
executable programs. freeWrap can wrap TCL/TK applications that consist of
multiple script and binary files. freeWrap combines all the files together
into a single executable file.
freeWrap 5.4 is based on TCL/TK 8.3.5
freeWrap executables are freely available for both Linux and Windows.
Instructions and source code for building freeWrap on both Windows and UNIX
platforms is also freely available.
The following additional variations of freeWrap are also available for
download:
freewrapBLT a windowing application that includes TCL/TK and
the BLT extension (Linux only)
freewrapTCLSH a console-only application which includes only TCL.
Please visit the freeWrap home page:

Changes implemented in version 5.4
------------------------------------
1) Corrected problems that occurred when storing the executable file in
directory paths that included spaces.
2) The generated executable output file is now placed in the current
working directory.
3) The [info script] command now returns the name of the called script when
using freeWrap as a stand-alone TCLSH or WISH.
4) Due to conflicts with antivirus software, under Windows freeWrap is no
longer compressed using UPX or any other EXE compressor.
