dandv 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2009 On WinXP, when executing from the command prompt (cmd.exe) a command that doesn't have an extension (e..g 'git'), Windows will try the extensions from the PATHSEXT environment variables in order, looking for that command plus the extension (e.g. 'git.com', 'git.exe', 'git.bat', 'git.cmd') in PATH, again in order. On my machine, for example, PATHEXT is: .COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.PL;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.PSC1 PATH, as seen by NDN in Utilities -> Edit OS environment, is: [windos junk] C:\utils\SlikSvn\bin\;c:\strawberry\perl\bin;c:\utils\git\cmd;c:\utils\git\bin; Note how c:\utils\git\cmd is before c:\utils\git\bin. c:\utils\git\cmd contains a file git.cmd, which is executed if I type "git" at the cmd.exe command prompt. However, if I type "git" in NDN, NDN executes git.exe from c:\utils\git\bin This behavior of NDN causes msysgit portable to work incorrectly.

AngelsHolocaust 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2009 Hi Dan, you are a pretty lucky guy, since I am currently working on the execution part of NDN to fix another bug. So, I probably will have this fixed next (I already know what the problem is). Thank you, Stefan / AH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AngelsHolocaust 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2009 Hi Dan, I think I have fixed the bug. But setting up a test environment for this would take me more time than the fix itself. :P Could you test this again with this archive? http://www.bnhof.de/~ho1459/files/ndn_exec_bin_w32.exe Thank you, Stefan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
