Your environment seems to be missing %SystemDrive%. You must define it when using win9x. The documentation is silent on the need for this!

I have set ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME as described in the installation instructions. However no matter what I set ANT_HOME to when I type ant I get: ANT_HOME is set incorrectly or ant could not be located. Please set ANT_HOME. The environment variables are: D:\MyPrograms\JavaProgs\CensusServlet\ReadXls>set ANT_HOME=D:\jakarta-ant-1.5.1 JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.3.1 PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\JDK1.3.1\BIN;D:\JAKARTA-ANT-1.5.1\BIN There is only one thread I can see on this subject in the archives, it peters out with a suggestion that the problem might be the backslash, but changing this to a forward slash makes no difference. When I turn echo on I find that execution of ant.bat merrily flows right through the 'if exist "%ANT_HOME%" goto' statement, even though the directory definitely exists. Moreover when I experiment I find that it does not matter WHAT I put in the "if exist" statement control flows through. Does "if exist" even work on Win98? I would really like to use ant. It is a real pain to have to keep editting the shell scripts that I am using to compile my applications.
