Hey Andrew, Here's a bit more information on this problem. Regards-Rick
It does not work correctly on Windows XP SP2. It adds extra characters that are not the DOS 8.3 format and even changes the name of the db directory in the PATH to db0. The error message we get is Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/derby/tools/ij The problem is the CLASSPATH set by setEmbeddedCP.bat. Once you set DERBY_INSTALL, then run this batch file, the resulting CLASSPATH is: CLASSPATH=C:\PROGRA~1\Java\JDK16~1.0\db0\db\lib\derby.jar;C:\PROGRA~1\Java\JDK16~1.0\db0\db\lib\derbytools.jar;.; which you can clearly see has some strange problems in it. Somehow it ads the directory db0 and really messes up the name of the jdk1.6.0 directory. However, if you remove that FOR statement, everything works just fine. Andrew McIntyre wrote:

I'm not a DOS expert and I don't know understand what "%%~sX" means.That should convert the value of DERBY_HOME to it's DOS 8.3 short form to avoid further problems with the path containing spaces. This is working for me on Windows 2000. What version of Windows are you using, and what is the error you are getting? andrew
