Vadim,
Just for you I have done this, too :-)
- the short path gets patched into maxima.bat (if required)
- maxima.bat works form command line
- xmaxima doesn't work.
There is an error box from xmaxima:
Error staring Maxima:
Can't execute {{C:/Program Files/Maxima-5.9.0.9beta1/bin/maxima}} -s 4008 &
couldn't execute "{C:\Program Files\Maxima-5.9.0.9beta1\bin\maxima}": no such file or directory
I will commit the patch to fix maxima.bat. Patches for xmaxima accepted.
