Description

We installed ActiveMQ as windows service from the path, C:\Program Files\apache-activemq-5.6.0 and when tried to start the service, it could not start.
But when we install ActiveMQ as windows service from the path, C:\apache-activemq-5.6.0 or any other folder without space between the folder path, it starts successfully.
