I called my app from the console and all worked fine.

TCustomApplication has no special treatment of spaces, it doesn't need that.
It just uses what it gets from the OS.

Well, according to my tests, TCustomApplication works fine as you can see 
from the output I posted. I use TCustomApplication, and often have spaces 
in the arguments. Never had a problem, so I do not believe the issue is there.

Please post the output (by the tool) of

For I:=0 to ParamCount do
   Writeln(Paramstr(i));

This will shed some light on the issue.
