[Swift-user] Swift 0.95 RC6 on Windows

[Jonathan Ozik]

Hi all,

I have two colleagues that are trying to run Swift 0.95 RC6 on Windows using the included swift.bat Windows script. They haven’t been successful yet. Trying the quickstart guide http://swift-lang.org/guides/quickstart.html and the hello.swift script under examples/swift/misc/ they see the following error:

Swift 0.95 RC6 swift-r7900 cog-r3908
RunID: 20140703-1433-7iq5x697
Progress: Thu, 03 Jul 2014 14:33:49-0500

Execution failed:
Exception in echo:
   Arguments: [hi]
   Host: localhost
   Directory: hello-20140703-1433-7iq5x697/jobs/6/echo-6nydmzsl
       exception @ swift-int.k, line: 530

Caused by: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=267, The directory name is invalid

Any thoughts on this?
