[texworks] Missing TexWorks folder when installed with MikTex 2.8

[Bruce Allison]

Hi Alain,
I did download and install the latest version of TeXworks.  Unfortunately,
SyncTexing does not work when I enter "Ctrl click" in the source file or the
pdf file.

It does not seem that accents in the path are the problem.  The TexWorks
program is in the folder suggested by the installer, and for the purposes of
this test the source file is 
C:\Documents and Settings\Bruce\My Documents\Practice TexWorks.tex.

Any thoughts are welcome.  Unfortunately, I am about to give up and go back
to WinEdt.

Thanks.
Bruce

There is still the problem of accented characters in the path and file 
names.
Check if you have any accent there.
So
C:\Documents and 
Settings\Principal\Bureau\travaux-pour-etudiants\test.tex is OK
C:\Documents and Settings\Principal\Bureau\travaux pour 
etudiants\test.tex also, but not
C:\Documents and 
Settings\Principal\Bureau\travaux-pour-étudiants\test.tex for the "é".

Now the space doesn't make problem any more (at least on my machine).
