When I wrap the variable and value with quotes as Parag suggested it runs the build but still looks for Java in the jre directory.
I commented out the echo off line as suggested and this was the output (hope it's not too annoying that I post the whole thing): C:\Users\Brian>cd C:\AntTest C:\AntTest>set "JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk.1.6.0_23" C:\AntTest>set ANT_HOME=C:\Ant C:\AntTest>%ANT_HOME%\bin\ant C:\AntTest>REM @echo off C:\AntTest>REM Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more C:\AntTest>REM contributor license agreements.
