The code that guesses gate.home in version 3.0 can't handle
paths that
contain spaces.  This has since been fixed, so if you use
3.1 beta 1 it
should work OK.  With 3.0 you will have to specify
-Dgate.home=... on
the command line - you should be able to enter a path with
spaces by
using double quotes, try one or other of the following:

-Dgate.home="C:Program FilesGATE 3.0"
"-Dgate.home=C:Program FilesGATE 3.0"
