Don't abuse the bug repository -- a `Network Administrator' really ought to know better. That message is also generated if HOMEPATH is wrongly set, so please check that too. Reasonable settings are HOMEDRIVE=C: HOMEPATH=\Documents and Settings\ripley and %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% must be a valid path if HOMEDRIVE is set. You can avoid this by setting HOME. This *is* mentioned in the README file!
