[MiKTeX] dvipdfm - UNC paths are not supported

[Jonathan F. <J....@op...>]

Hello

I have users who do work on UNC drives.

When they use dvipdfm, they get the error
==
CMD.EXE was started with '\\path\to\unc\folder' as the current directory
path.
UNC paths are not supported.  Defaulting to Windows directory.
==

This has been discussed before:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=7274244&forum_id=10537

But this thread seems not to contain a solution to the problem.

I'd be most grateful if someone here can help, or at least
provide more up-to-date news.
