#2520 Installing gnuplot generates directory name is invalid error

[Anonymous]

On a clean new installation of the latest version of gnuplot, I am getting this error:
Unable to execute file:
C\Program Files\gnuplot\bin\wgnuplot.exe
CreateProcess failed; code 267.
The directory name is invalid.
Trying to install gp543-win64-mingw.exe
Running Windows 11 Version 21H2 (OS Build 22000.556) on a PC

I assume you use the command prompt.
This occurs because installed path has a white space
Try to quote paih by "".

"C:\Program Files\gnuplot\bin\wgnuplot.exe"

For the power shell, use

& "C:\Program Files\gnuplot\bin\wgnuplot.exe"

Ah! I misunderstood what was happening.

Is the phenomenon related to the below?
