Update CCSv5.2 .. and now won't start!

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO
I've been having problems with breakpoints in CCSv5 for my Stellarisware project. So, last night, I remembered I hadn't checked for updates in a little bit, so I thought I'd update. When I went to update, found all the update sites missing. Fixed that by re-importing bookmarks from elsewhere in e2e support. That fixed, found updates, accepted, started update process. Finished, said it needed to restart CCS. Pretty standard. No error messages, no problems. 
Then I go to restart CCS, (double click on the shortcut) and I get a dialog box:
Windows cannot find 'C:\Texas '. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
Since I didn't type anything, and since the shortcut had always worked before the update.. I'm inclined to believe it was the update. My install is in the default location, which was C:\Texas Instruments\..  So I can't help wondering if some install package didn't handle spaces in the install path very well. 
Any help? Can I fix this? .. and while we are at it.. any help on why I can't get my Stellaris project to breakpoint?

    Hi Todd,

    you hit the nail on the head.  The installer can not handle the space.  Please try a different directory and keep us informed how that goes.

    Best Regards,

    Huh? I didn't install! I have a working system, and I'm in the middle of a project development! Are you telling me I have to do a full reinstall of CCSv5, Stellarisware, etc.. And hope I get a working environment, because the updater screwed up the path?  Can we just fix the path / config?

    Just so we are clear... CCSv5 is in the DEFAULT directory, which is 'C:\Texas Instruments\' - I didn't 'pick' a directory name with spaces.. Been doing this too long to make that mistake. That said, I also use the default install directory on tools to keep things simple. I'm pointing out that the updater breaks a DEFAULT directory install  of CCS! We need to fix this, right? Not just wave hands and say everyone's default install of CCS will be broken - go download a couple Gigabytes per user and reinstall all the dev tools, because a config file somewhere is incorrect.. right?  What can we do here? Help?

    Hi Todd,

    the default directory for CCSv5 should be c:\ti actually and unfortunately yes, I would say reinstall into that or similar directory with no spaces or accented/special characters.

    Please keep us informed.

    Best Regards,

    Lisa

    Browse to "c:\Texas Instruments\ccsv5\eclipse\downloads" in windows explorer. Edit file "ccs_update_5.2.0.00069.bat" in notepad. Change the last line to:

    start "CCS" /b "C:\Texas Instruments\ccsv5\eclipse\downloads\ccs_update_5.2.0.00069.exe" %params%

    Restart CCS from the desktop shortcut or from "c:\texas instruments\ccsv5\eclipse\ccstudio.exe".  The update should now proceed.

    The default directory was 'C\Texas Instruments\' and I didn't pick it. Seriously. I don't pick install directories for tools with spaces or special characters. The whole system was working well and updating since November, and I ran a CCS update last night, which caused this problem, which trying to address the breakpoint issue I referenced. (any ideas there, btw?)

    Doesn't TI actually support CCS? This is probably a simple config file fix for someone who knows it well. Please address this, instead of waving me off with a reinstall.
