Sorry, it is my mistake, this is because I tried both with and without the forward slash to check that the missing forward slash is the problem. BTW, c:/Invalid/path/info does not need to be an invalid path when the forward slash is present. It just becomes invalid when you remove this slash and just write c:Invalid/path/info. > Anyway, I tried both ways, and it didn't crash for me. > > I don't understand why you use forward slashes in the "start" command; > did you invoke this batch file from MSYS Bash or something? No, I did call bug18516_1.bat from an MSDos console, which I started by typing "cmd" in the start/execute menu. I wrote forward slash just because I copied and paste the full path from a Dired view. It does not prevent the crash to use backslashes anyway. Vincent.
