SCCM 2012 Beta 2: setupdl.exe doesn’t launch

Had an annoying one this afternoon. While trying to install the new (ish) SCCM 2012 Beta 2 the Updated Prerequisite Components wizard wouldn’t download the prereqs. I was able to run the setupdl.exe manually, but still when providing the prereq path to the Updated Prerequisite Components wizards it would still fail.

Really easy fix in the end. You just need to make sure the prereqs are stored in a directory without any spaces in the name, and bingo. :/
