Short description of error
New builds failed to open by double clicking associated blend files with "space" symbols in the name of these files.
Checked on 2 different machines with Win8 and Win7.
File -> Open is working.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  1. Unzip and open attached blend file by double clicking , if failed you should see a default startup scene
  2. Now open the same file by File -> Open, should always work
