Description:        =


The service executable name should be surrounded with double quotes after
installation of the service.  If a user installs using the default file
location (C:\program files\blah blah"),  has a folder or file on root of C:
called "Program" - postgresql will not start unless there are quotes around
the path to the exe.

When there is a space in folder name, it will treat it as a separate =
argument, so you need to use quotes.
Other way could be use quotes just around name which has space.
Example - c:\gregpearce\\"blah blah\"

Check on net how to open filename having space.
