Hi, Gavin McDonald from the builds mailing list helped out and installed Pixel Bender on the windows slave for us. :-)
I managed to work out the right way of escape the truly horrible default path that Pixel Bender uses so that Jenkins will set the pixel bender environment variable correctly. For those interested this is the magic combination of slashes: PIXELBENDER_HOME=C\:/Program\ Files\ (x86)/Adobe/Adobe Utilities\ -\ CS5/Pixel\ Bender\ Toolkit\ 2 (Note the unix style slashes for directory separators and back slashes in front of spaces and colons.) Now Jenkins will continue to make nightly build and build the Apache Flex SDK if there's any check in activity in the last hour. Thanks, Justin
