Description of my issue:
I cant chose one windows folder other than my site directory. I tried to chose one folder in the next drive in my local machine.

When one folder name having space in 'Output Directory' its showing problem "C:Documents and SettingsmanuDesktopQJO_JoomlaQJO-Bkp" => "Documents and Settings" => its going as "C:Documents and Settingsmanu/Desktop"

Thanks

That's a known issue with a few versions of PHP for Windows running on Windows XP. Please type in the path manually, substituting backward for forward slashes. For example instead of C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\Something type C:/Documents and Settings/Desktop/Something. Most people don't know it, but Windows does support using forward slashes as path separators since MS DOS 1.0.

No. This issue is irrelevant of the Joomla! version. It takes Windows XP to happen.
