*I* find that the best way to handle the "spaces in path" problem on windows is
to avoid it by using the '8dot3' version of a file/dir name:
===
C:\>dir /x
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is D215-0F37
Directory of C:\
31/10/2023 08:01 AM <DIR> BIN
22/11/2023 06:58 PM <DIR> Dell
23/12/2023 09:44 PM <DIR> DEV
20/01/2024 10:41 AM <DIR> DEVTOOLS
13/01/2024 10:43 AM <DIR> Java
31/10/2023 07:42 AM <DIR> LIB
19/01/2024 09:23 AM <DIR> PROGRA~1 Program Files
30/12/2023 10:20 AM <DIR> PROGRA~2 Program Files (x86)
23/10/2023 07:24 PM <DIR> Users
10/01/2024 08:11 PM <DIR> Windows
24/11/2023 07:24 PM <DIR> WSL2
0 File(s) 0 bytes
11 Dir(s) 736,955,072,512 bytes free
C:\>set GROOVY_HOME=C:\PROGRA~2\Groovy
C:\>
===
Of course, this relies on the filesystem actually generating these alternative
filenames, not all do. To determine your situation:
=== (run as administrator):
C:\>fsutil 8dot3name query c:
The volume state is: 0 (8dot3 name creation is ENABLED)
The registry state is: 2 (Per volume setting - the default)
Based on the above settings, 8dot3 name creation is ENABLED on "c:"
C:\>

Or do you already have GROOVY_HOME set but to somewhere else?
