simulator start fails on windows if username has space in it

[dogoth]

VSCode Version: 1.71.1
OS Version: Win 11 Pro
Extension Version: 1.25.9

Steps to Reproduce:

1. when installing windows, choose pick a username that has a space in it. eg "John Smith"
2. install Visual Studio Code, Azure IoT Tools
3. start a nodejs iot edge solution (not sure if language choice here is significant)
4. create module, use "Build and Run IoT Edge Solution in Simulator" feature

error message:
"
ERROR: Error while executing command: docker-compose -f C:\Users\John Smith\AppData\Local.iotedgehubdev\data\data\docker-compose.yml down. Command '['docker-compose', '-f', 'C:\Users\John', 'Smith\AppData\Local.iotedgehubdev\data\data\docker-compose.yml', 'down']' returned non-zero exit status 1.
"

further down an extra clue
"
"No such command: Smith\AppData\Local.iotedgehubdev\data\data\docker_compose.yml"
"

this suggests that the issue is the space during filename declaration to the command for docker-compose, the space maknig it treat the second half as a argument

looks to be issue here:

iotedgehubdev/iotedgehubdev/edgemanager.py

Line 70 in d3bffb3

cmd = "docker-compose -f {0} down".format(EdgeManager.COMPOSE_FILE)

the argument to -f needs to be in quotes

Thanks for reporting. We are adding to the backlog

Simulator is in maintenance mode at this time.

Does the solution work on either real device or EFLOW without issues?
