Thanks Andrew, no worries. Okay, I did some more digging, and here's what I found (may be it's not the right thing to do, but it helps me progress further to locate the area in the script in which the problem occurs) :
1. The first line in the 'pig' windows executable starts with @echo off, followed by a whole lot of comments. These text, to me, do not look like valid commands, in which case, the entire line should be commented out with 'REM'. I did that, and the script was able to proceed normally, till it hits the 'call -Xmx' command. 2. When 'call -Xmx' is executed, it complains about '-Xmx1000M' not being a valid command. I did a help on windows 'call' command, and I found that the parameters to 'call' should be in the format 'call <filename> <parameters>, but in this case, 'call' is invoked with '-XMx' as the filename, because of which, I presume, the script is failing. It looks like the script is broken. Windows folks can confirm. Please let me know how to work around the 'call' command problem to proceed with the installation testing. Thanks, Venkat.
