This is a + problem when a third party application that is using ant to build class files is + installed in the default Windows programs directory (Program Files). + + We are passing only relative paths (relative to the installation directory)to + all the ant batch files to avoid this problem as much as possible, but ant is + going back to the root of the drive and creating a path that includes c:\Program + Files\ etc.... + + You either need to put this directory passed to Java into quotes or stop + appending the directory path back to the root. + + Right now we have to make people who use our installer not use the default + location for windows program files or everything messes up. + + You may let us know where in the code this is happening and we will be happy to + fix it and test it. + + Thanks. \ No newline at end of file
