The problem went away once i changed the values for both TEMP and TMP environment variables to "C:\Temp" (without quotation marks). This---i think---has to do with long filenames (path to TEMP folder). Great, great job by the way. Org makes so much things easier. Thank you very much! 2013/10/13 Vicente Vera > Hello.
