NX3 GM toolkit gives can't find "C:\Documents" error

NX3 GM toolkit gives can't find "C:\Documents" error

NX3 GM toolkit gives can't find "C:\Documents" error

(OP)
Running NX3 with the GM toolkit
(GMlaunch 4D gmpdl3b)

Double click on the gmlaunch.bat file and the java dialog appears fine. Select NX3.0 and click okay and a box appears stating "Error Unable to find C:\Documents" Kind of suggest s its looking for "C:\Documents and Settings" but I've cleared all environmental variables that may affect this.

Has anybody else seen this before (I Hope so :-)

Regards

RE: NX3 GM toolkit gives can't find "C:\Documents" error

(OP)
No need to reply, found the problem, non-existent temp directory. (C:\Temp)It defaulted to C:\Documents and Settings which by the looks of it it cant handle due to spaces.

RE: NX3 GM toolkit gives can't find "C:\Documents" error

It will if you input it correctly.  You have to use the tilde after every 6 characters when defining directories with spaces in them.  Watch out for the default install, as Program Files contains spaces as well.

Example:  C:\Docume~1\whatever\temp
