Tools like Resource Editor and UI Designer fail to start for if username has space

I have a username with space in it, such as "Michael K". So, the extension is normally installed in a subfolder under "‪C:\Users\Michael K". When I create a VS Tools project - all tools such as Resource Editor and Qt Designer fail to start when I double click QRC or UI files. The error message says that a tool "failed to start" and lists a path that is valid - opening the folder in Explorer and manually running the tool works fine.

When I install the extension under an account that does not have a  space in its username (such as "Admin") - all tools launch fine.

Which lead me to conclude that there is an error in launch code's processing of paths somewhere.
