Installing Logstash Plugin with spaces in the install path

I am in the early stages of setting up a an elastic stack and I think I have discovered a bug, but it may be user error, so hopefully someone can point out where I am going wrong.

I have installed Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana (5.2 for all) on a Server 2016 server. The path that I have used for install is C:\Program Files\elastic.co<productName>.

The out of the box installations have worked well and everything is functioning as described. I now want to install the 'logstash-output-zabbix' plugin, and this is where I am hitting a problem.

I have run the 'logstash-plugin install' script and received the following error:

c:\Program Files\elastic.co\logstash>bin\logstash-plugin install logstash-output-zabbix
Validating logstash-output-zabbix
Installing logstash-output-zabbix
Error Bundler::InstallError, retrying 1/10
An error occurred while installing logstash-core-event-java (5.2.0), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install logstash-core-event-java -v '5.2.0'` succeeds before bundling.

This repeats 10 times and eventually fails.

I then tried to install the logstash-core-event-java gem as the error message suggests and get the following error:

c:\Program Files\elastic.co\logstash>"C:\Program Files\elastic.co\logstash\vendor\jruby\bin\gem.bat" install logstash-core-event-java -v 5.2.0

The key error here was: "Non-readable POM C:\Program: C:\Program (The system cannot find the file specified)"

This lead me to install logstash in a path with no spaces and try again, and I had success:

c:\ElasticStack\logstash>bin\logstash-plugin install logstash-output-zabbix
Validating logstash-output-zabbix
Installing logstash-output-zabbix
Installation successful

Just to check I ran the gem install process as well:

c:\ElasticStack\logstash>"C:\ElasticStack\logstash\vendor\jruby\bin\gem.bat" install logstash-core-event-java -v 5.2.0

Is there some requirement that I have missed to install the elastic products in a path with no spaces? If not, is there someway that I can install the plugin, or even the gem, when there is a space in the path?

Thanks,

Tim
