Liblouis fails to initialize when there's a space in the path:

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
at org.liblouis.Translator.<clinit>(Translator.java:212)
[...]
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException
at org.liblouis.Louis.listResources(Louis.java:442)
at org.liblouis.Louis.access$500(Louis.java:52)
at org.liblouis.Louis$3.<init>(Louis.java:256)
at org.liblouis.Louis.getLibrary(Louis.java:252)
at org.liblouis.WideChar.<clinit>(WideChar.java:6)
... 24 more

On Windows this is higly problematic, as the default installation folder for applications is C:\Program Files

Could you provide your whole exception stacktrace? Could it be that the exception you mention is caused by another exception, similar to what I am getting:

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
at org.liblouis.Translator.(Translator.java:212)
( --- removed outer stack trace --)
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: directory does not exist
at org.liblouis.Louis.listResources(Louis.java:448)
at org.liblouis.Louis.access$4(Louis.java:441)
at org.liblouis.Louis$3.(Louis.java:256)

@alexander233 I have updated the stack trace, and you're right, it's similar.

@joeha480 can you try the new version? There are two version now. You should use the one with classifier "standalone".

@bertfrees Elegant that you found an even shorter way to to solve this problem! Works well on my system.
