Setup: Windows XP, PythonCard 0.8.2, Python 2.5.2

Some of the Start Menu shortcuts/links generated by the PythonCard installer do not enclose the target .py files in quotes. Thus, when these .py files have spaces in their path (e.g. if the default Python install is in C:\Program Files), running them from the start menu fails silently. Adding double quotes around the .py files specified in these shortcuts fixes the problem.

This applies to these start menu shortcuts:
Code Editor
Find Files
Layout Editor
Resource Editor
Tabbed Code Editor
Uninstall PythonCard

    Check [2048681] if it's just codeEditor that is not working...there is a known issue in recent versions of wxPython that could be causing this which was fixed in 2.8.9.0+.
