Hi Jan I'm unsure if the first step succeeds, as if I just run a batch script with the same entry it fails for the same reason.
But you've given me a number of things to try here, so I'll give them a try and see what the results are. Just a quick question, I assume when running the job that Jenkins does use a different user than the one logged in? Is that correct, and is it possible to change that user?
