Ah but I can possibly help you... The problem was that my box did not define %SystemRoot%. As a result the script tried to use cmd.exe, instead of finding command.com. I guess you could test for this variable and use C:\windows if not present?
Of course, this just led onto the next problem.... The call to command.com fails on my PC: D:\maven\bin>"C:\windows\command.com" /C DIR "D:\jdk1.4.1" 2>&1 | "C:\windows\command\find.exe" /I /C "D:\jdk1.4.1" >nul Too many parameters - 2 The too many parameters is the dir command complaining about the 2nd parameter '2'. Not sure what this is doing in detail (although obviously checking a directory for JAVA_HOME existence), but it doesn't work on this particular OS. I'm going to have to hack around this one.
