Fair enough, but the actual functionality I mentioned seems to be undefined; also, I glanced at the .85 source code while I was waiting for a response, and saw the following line as a default (apparently) configuration for invoking a process: (ExternalProgramBase.cs / void PrepareProcess(...)) process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false; The implication of this line is that the search %PATH% will not be used. There is an argument for flipping this to `true', and probably a better argument for some type of NANT configuration, probably branched under the <EXEC> target, which allows for this to be enabled / disabled. -JonS ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
