On Windows, paths with spaces seem to be surrounded by double quotes in the shell (I'm mostly a *nix user, so this seems to be the issue). Updating the script to put double quotes around that command's path works, but it fails (even with Admin privileges) without that. I've run into this on two separate Windows 10 systems (Python 3.7), pyWin32 installed.

The offending lines in my setup script are this raw string literal on line 73 and this command on line 84. Hacking those to surround the path with double quotes allows a successful install. Unfortunately, it breaks the ability to use r"" in 73. I ran that command manually in Powershell. Just to give you more information.
