When I googled for reasons, I found out that there are many. The obvious ones 
would be related to PATH, but that doesn't explain why it doesn't happen every 
time. Nor have I been able to fix the problem with changing the PATH.

I have since created 2 new setups. A windows 7 64bit and a windows 8 32 bit. 
Just as a try to narrow down the problem to either Win8 or the 64bit. Neither 
worked, since both of these two new computers pass and don't reproduce the 
problem.

Debugging this is hard. It's like quantum mechanics, try to look at something 
and you change the setup so that it doesn't reproduce. Because of this, I've 
set up a task for myself to just recreate Win8 64bit from scratch, and see if 
it still occurs.

I've wondered about that one every time one of the builds fails after 
compiling everything because perl can't find cmd.exe.

How is that possible? Do you have any theories how that can happen? Did the 
build somehow erase cmd.exe during the build? Did PATH somehow get corrupted? 
Windows 8 bug?
