DUMP Folder can't be resolved.

I was trying to dump Nier Automata and I got the error 'The name of the file cannot be resolved by the system.' I then tried to dump Calculator since that is the example. As seen below, I have the same error with dumping Calculator.

This was ran through the newest x64 .exe

I'm curious if this is because of the apparent space/line-break in the user's path name between Dark(space)Matter02 causing path resolution issues? I wonder if this is how others have been encountering DUMP folder issues.

Im afraid that regediting to make a user folder w/o a space is a bit more in-depth than what I am comfortable with.
Do you have any other ideas I could test out?

The code seems to be failing here in particular:

UWPDumper/UWPDumper/main.cpp

Lines 121 to 132 in c29e9d6

 if( fs::create_directories(WritePath.parent_path(), ErrorCode) == false && ErrorCode ) 
 { 
 	const std::string ErrorMessage(ErrorCode.message()); 
 	std::wstring WErrorMessage; 
 	WErrorMessage.assign(ErrorMessage.begin(), ErrorMessage.end()); 
 	IPC::PushMessage( 
 		L"Error creating subfolder: %s\n\t%s\n", 
 		WritePath.parent_path().c_str(), 
 		WErrorMessage.c_str() 
 	); 
 	continue; 
 } 

And I can only fathom that it is due to the fact that your username has a space in it. Though in my testing it seems to work just fine to have spaces and . characters and such mixed into the path.

#include <filesystem>
namespace fs = std::filesystem;

int main()
{
    fs::path WritePath = L".\\Test Space\\Path.With.Dot\\File";
    std::wprintf(L"Writing to path: %s\n", WritePath.c_str());
    std::error_code ErrorCode;
    if( fs::create_directories(WritePath.parent_path(), ErrorCode) == false && ErrorCode )
    {
        const std::string ErrorMessage(ErrorCode.message());
        std::wstring WErrorMessage;
        WErrorMessage.assign(ErrorMessage.begin(), ErrorMessage.end());
        std::wprintf(
            L"Error creating subfolder: %s\n\t%s\n",
            WritePath.parent_path().c_str(),
            WErrorMessage.c_str()
        );
    }
}

So this is likely not the case.. I'm at a bit of a loss as to what part of the path it is failing to resolve. Somewhere in the MSVC implementation of create_directories is causing ERROR_CANT_RESOLVE_FILENAME to be called when resolving paths such as C:\Users\Dark Matter02\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\TempState\DUMP. At least from within UWP...

On a whim I tried to dump calculator again today and it worked. I have no clue why it works now. I have made no changes to anything at all.
Update: It worked twice before failing again.
Update2: After rebooting it is working consistently....

Curious if there is any kind of consistency to pick out from this in case anyone else runs into this. Def don't want to have an rng-based dumper.
