Hi
I just took the following exec task :
<exec>
<environment>
<variable name="LibDir" value="C:\CruiseControl\Release\" />
</environment>
<executable>in.bat</executable>
<baseDirectory>D:\</baseDirectory>
<buildTimeoutSeconds>4000</buildTimeoutSeconds>
</exec>
the in.bat file is just the following :
set >d:\info.txt
and when I build this project, I see the libdir variable in info.txt :
libdir=C:\CruiseControl\Release\
What I do notice is that it is lower cased, so maybe you should adjust
echo LibDir is $(LibDir)
to
echo LibDir is $(libdir)
with kind regards
