How do I install a .sdb file with the command prompt?

Try surrounding the path with quotes, as such:
sdbinst.exe -q "C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\winamp compatability fix.sdb"

I'm trying to configure Windows so UAC doesn't ask permission every time I open Winamp. I created a .sdb file for Winamp that runs it as invoker and gives it write permissions and saved it at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\winamp compatability fix.sdb
Then, from what I've read I should be able to run cmd as an administrator and use the command:
sdbinst.exe -q C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\winamp compatability fix.sdb
to install it.
However, when I do that, I get this:
Error: Too many command-line arguments. Usage: sdbinst [-?] [-q] [-u] [-g] [-p] [-n[:WIN32 |WIN64]] myfile.sdb | <guid> | "name" -? - print this help text. -p - Allow SDBs containing patches. -q - Quiet mode: prompts are auto-accepted. -u -Uninstall. -g <guid> - GUID of file <uninstall only>. -n "name" - Internal name of file <uninstall only>.
So what exactly am I doing wrong?
