Dave,

It is possible that the most recent change to squirrel-sql.bat - which comp=
utes
the SQuirreL location dynamically - is not working on your platform.=20
I use WinXP
(Home) and it works.  I've attached a modified form of
squirrel-sql.bat (renamed as
squirrel-sql.bar) which simply prints a couple of environment variables tha=
t we
set in the script.

Do this:

1.  Replace the squirrel-sql.bat file in your local installation with
the one I've attached
2. Open a command prompt and cd to the dir where squirrel-sql.bat is
3. Run squirrel-sql.bat

You should see something like this:

SQUIRREL_SQL_HOME=3DC:\tmp\squirrel2.2final
TMP_CP=3D"C:\tmp\squirrel2.2final\squirrel-sql.jar";"C:\tmp\squirrel2.2fina=
l\lib\commons-cli.jar";"C:\tmp\squirrel2.2final\lib\forms.jar";"C:\tmp\squi=
rr
el2.2final\lib\fw.jar";"C:\tmp\squirrel2.2final\lib\log4j.jar";"C:\tmp\squi=
rrel2.2final\lib\nanoxml-2.1.jar"

Copy what you get and send it to me.
