I thought that the install script corrected for spaces in the filename,
but obviously this isn't the case.

Try entering
C:/progra~1/noteta~1/notetab.exe
(using forward slashes)

The previous suggestion about using vi won't work, because this install
script does not come with vi.

Also, if you do not specify an editor, notepad will be used.
