Why do I receive the error "C:\Program is not recognized as an internal or external command" when running registerSe​rviceForHp​cServer200​8.bat?

I am setting up MATLAB Parallel Server) and the instructions tell me to run registerServiceForHpcServer2008.bat. When I run this batch file, I receive the following error:

C:\Program is not recognized as an internal or external command.

To avoid this error, edit the $MATLAB\toolbox\distcomp\bin\registerHpcServerSoaClient.bat file (where $MATLAB is the directory where MATLAB is installed). In line 46, put quotes around the path to RegisterAssembly.exe and HpcServerSoaClient.dll. After editing, the line should look like this:

call "%BINBASE%\RegisterAssembly.exe" %REGISTER_ASSEMBLY_ACTION% "%BINBASE%\HpcServerSoaClient.dll"

After editing and saving this file, registerServiceForHpcServer2008.bat should run without errors.
