Voxta Cannot Run from a Folder with Spaces
Voxta fails to initialize and throws an InvalidOperationException when installed in a folder containing spaces. The error message appears as:
System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot run Voxta from a folder with spaces. Please move your installation elsewhere.
Cause
Voxta does not support being installed in a directory with spaces in its name. This limitation affects service startup and hosting initialization, leading to a failure during application startup.
Solution
-
Move the Voxta installation folder to a directory without spaces.
-
Invalid installation paths:
C:\Users\John Doe\Voxta D:\My Applications\Voxta -
Valid installation paths:
C:\Voxta D:\Apps\Voxta
-
-
Update any shortcuts or scripts referencing the old path to reflect the new location.
-
Restart Voxta after relocation to ensure proper initialization.
Additional Notes
- This restriction ensures compatibility with internal path resolution and dependency management.
- If moving the folder is not feasible, consider using symbolic links or renaming parent directories to remove spaces.
