CPAN Install Problem

When trying to install CPAN bundle, I get this error:
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.'

Please see below for partial output from the end of the install, and my
config.

Looks like it is trying to run the nmake test. Looks like nmake test
is trying to run a program it can't find. Please help. Thanks

Try enclosing this value in quotes:
from your CPAN shell:
o conf make "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\VC7\BIN\nmake.EXE"

(all on one line, regardless of how the above came out...)
