Ant execution error: "Files was unexpected at this time."

Hi, I've just installed Ant 1.8.2 on my new Windows 7 machine, and set 
ANT_HOME to c:\apache-ant-1.8.2

When I run any Ant commands I get the message "Files was unexpected at 
this time." Any idea what's wrong? I couldn't find anything useful on the 
web about this error.

thanks,
Scott

Ah I figured it out -- ant.bat was pointing to the 32 bit version of Java; 
changing JAVA_HOME to the 64 bit version fixed it.

Gotta love that error message!

thanks,
Scott

At a guess, the unexpected "Files" is part of "C:\Program Files" and
there's a batch file somewhere that needs quotes adding around some
command? But don't bet any money on that as I've never even seen Windows 
7,
much less run Ant on it...
