Genesis doesn't start if there is a "&" in the directory names

Problem

The genesis application does not start, if any directory on the path contains a “&” in its name.

This is due to the nature of the start scripts, since the “&” has a special meaning in script syntax. The start scripts are created automatically by 3rd party tools, when the application is packaged, so the behaviour cannot be changed.

Workaround

Install Genesis in a different directory
