All, We are having difficulties running various windows utilities through bash. Through a regular windows cmd, one can run commands like diskshadow without issue, but with bash, we are having problems with COM calls not working. We have posted an example below.
Is there a good bug tracking system where we could report this and/or track this? And - does anyone have a decent workaround? Thanks much for any info, Ed Example below: ----- Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
