#241 Windows: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect

[Alectrus]

I have been running the Grinder on Linux for years and I recently had a requirement to be able to run it on Windows. I have translated all of my shell scripts to Windows and I am trying to run the Grinder now but am getting this error. Unfortunately the error doesn't really say where to look. I am assuming some log file or script file is using a Unix path but I double checked everything.

As per this forum post (http://grinder.996249.n3.nabble.com/Grinder-3-11-on-Windows-7-The-filename-directory-name-or-volume-label-syntax-is-incorrect-td8526.html), there seems to be an issue with my classpath. I'm currently investigating what might be wrong. The way I am building my classpath is taking all JARs in some folders, specifically:

rem Add any JARs in the lib folder to the classpath.
set EXTRA_JARS=
for /R ../lib %%a in (*.jar) do (
call :SETCLASSPATH %%a
)

rem Add Grinder JARs to lib (why is this not needed on Unix?)
for /R %GRINDER_HOME%/lib %%a in (*.jar) do (
call :SETCLASSPATH %%a
)

rem Set the classpath
set CLASSPATH=%EXTRA_JARS%;..\etc;..;C:\Python33\lib;
