    Apologies if this has been covered before but I can't seem to get the menu
    entries under F2 to do anything.

    I always get the same error message no matter what I try. The error is
    always like this:

    $ /bin/sh C:/Users/user1/AppData/Local/Temp/mc-user1/mcusrKXRVOZ
    The system cannot find the path specified.

    I'm on windows10. I'm using mc 4.8.19 for WIndows/Win32.

    I think the problem is /bin/sh... Do you have any suggestions? Where is mc
    supposed to find /bin/sh?

    Thank you

    So I've been messing with this and is seems that the bundled version of busybox isn't being used. I say this because I renamed busybox.exe (in the mc dir) to busybox.exe.dummy and started up mc and I get the same exact behaviour as before.

    I also tried starting mc from within the busybox shell (busybox.exe sh -l then mc) and this time I did not get an error message but nothing happened when I tried to execute anything from the F2 menu. It's as if busybox is not executing anything and fails silently.

    Has anyone else had this problem?

    Recent enhancement work in this area has been done.
