Liming,
Thanks for acknowledging the issue. I am not a batch file expert so I don't
know of a nice way to fix it. Perhaps we should just require that a python
freezer is always available and convert this case into an error case to make
the user define the python freezer environment variable instead. If someone
else know a way to conditionally extend the PATH variable that would be even
better but I am not aware of a way to do so.
Thanks,
Eugene

Eugene:
Yes. It is an issue. Seemly, set
PATH=%PYTHONPATH%\build;%PYTHONPATH%\GenFds;%PYTHONPATH%\Trim;%PATH% doesn't
work in if conditional statement. If it is not in if conditional statement, it
can work. For example, command set PATH=%BASE_TOOLS_PATH%\Bin\Win32;%PATH% in
BaseTools/toolsetup.bat does work.
Have you any suggestion on how to fix it?
Thanks

In BaseTools/toolsetup.bat there is a series of checks for a python freezer.
When I run from a VS command prompt (tested on 2005 and 2012) I found that when
we fall through to this case:
if not defined PYTHON_FREEZER_PATH (
echo.
echo !!! WARNING !!! Will not be able to compile Python programs to .exe
echo Will setup environment to run Python scripts directly.
echo.
set PYTHONPATH=%BASE_TOOLS_PATH%\Source\Python
set PATH=%PYTHONPATH%\build;%PYTHONPATH%\GenFds;%PYTHONPATH%\Trim;%PATH%
set PATHEXT=%PATHEXT%;.py
)
that the script will fail if anything in your PATH has parenthesis in it
including the standard VS2005 (or higher) path on 64-bit systems like
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE" with the error
message:
\Microsoft was unexpected at this time.
Has this script been tested on an x64 Windows host install without a freezer
installed?
