You may have more success using the mangled (8.3)
directory names in your pathnames. The ones with
spaces in them (e.g. Program Files) is the problem.
On my machine the mangled name for Program Files is
Progra~1 (they can be seen with dir /x command at
command prompt). There may be another way to use
the long filenames, but I'll bet this will be the
easiest.
