 alright. the exact message might be useful, next time you're there could
 you
 try again to get the screenshot?

 If you are thinking of the "set GISBASE=" line, AFAIK in batch files
 anything to the right of the "=" becomes part of the string, so no need to
 quote those. And if you do quote, they become a literal part of the string
 as it doesn't parse them away.

 (all works for me on 32bit XP, with no (x86) in the Program Files)


 could you try adding some echo statements to $GISBASE/etc/env.bat and
 $GISBASE/etc/Init.bat to see how far it gets?


 thanks,
