It looks like your problem has to do with the path you are giving to the
ss.exe file. Try using the DOS formatted path, i.e.
d:\progra~1\micros~1\common\vss\win32, also you may want to try / instead
of \ in that path.. I'm not sure what adding -compile to the command line
does. Is the other target called asi-compile or is it just called asi?
