If you quote it it turns into a string and doesn't work. Regards, John Ralls Hi John, Also seems to be something else wrong: PS E:\data\GnuCash\gcdev64> .\setup-mingw64.ps1 -target_dir "e:\Data\GnuCash\gcdev64" -x86_64 $true target_dir=e:\Data\GnuCash\gcdev64 download_dir=True ??? msys2_root=e:\Data\GnuCash\gcdev64\\msys2 x86_64=True preferred_mirror=http://repo.msys2.org Regards, Chris Good _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
