But when I try to start upsdrvctl.exe, it seems to send too many arguments to usbhid-ups.exe:

D:\Program Files\NUT\mingw64\sbin>upsdrvctl.exe start

Error: too many non-option arguments. Try -h for help.
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)

I say that because sending nonsense arguments to usbhid-ups.exe gives the same error message:

D:\Program Files\NUT\mingw64\bin>usbhid-ups.exe too many arguments

Thanks. Can you please run upsdrvctl also with debug -DDDDDD -d? I wonder if the space in "Program Files" acts up?..

[jimklimov]

Side note, autotools did not let me make install-win-bundle DESTDIR='c:\program files\NUT' (nor /c/program files/NUT) because of the space. The progra~1 8.3 shortcut fared better.

Yep. Moving it to D:\NUT seemed to let it run properly. Thanks for the tip! I hate having stuff in the root of drives any more than necessary (would love this to be able to live in Program Files where Windows sticks all other applications), but it looks like you got me up and running for now!

Hopefully this is something that could make it into a future update and I'll be able to put it back "where it belongs." Until then, my immediate need is met. I'll leave the issue open for the team to work or close at its own discretion! Title updated to possibly catch a few more searches in case someone else encounters the same issues.

[jimklimov]

Thanks for the confirmation! This seems to be a regression from a fix that landed this week to squash another bug; adding double-quotes into the call helped here locally. I'll post a PR soon.
