Bug 3129

[Marius Scurtescu <ms...@healthmetrx.com>]

Hi,

This issue seems to be closed but under Windows 2000 it is
still not working.

Using the 'vmlauncher="false"' attribute does not work under
Windows 2000.

The only workaround I found was using the 'dirname' task to
get an absolute path first.

Why isn't the task making the 'executable' path absolute 
first and then check/run it?

You may consider reopening the bug.

Marius

Yes, you must be right I guess. But then another flag would be needed or
it should behave differently under Windows.

Anyhow, the exec task is broken under Windows.

Thanks,
Marius

because many people run things on the path; if I exec 'ssh.exe' I just
need a copy of SSH on the path, not one at .\ssh.exe
