Describe the bug
When changing the default data location directory from C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server to a directory containing a space such as C:\Test Data\Etc\Etc the installer will create the data directory with everything after the space removed. In this example it would be C:\Test\

To Reproduce
Run windows installation (10.4.0 RC nightlies)
Change default data location directory to a directory containing a space
Check where the installer actually created the data location

Expected behavior
Manually chosen data directory in the installer should match the directory created by the installer.

System (please complete the following information):

  • OS: [Windows]
  • Browser: [N/A]
  • Jellyfin Version: [10.4.0 RC nightlies]
  • Reverse proxy: [N/A]
