This will almost certainly get better with #4724.

This might be a duplicate of #4571

@jasondicker Can you confirm that
wt -d "C:\Program Files"
works, while
wt -d "C:\Program Files\"
does not?

Thank you for testing again! In that case it's a dup of #4571 and fortunately we have a potential fix already.
