Ah I figured it out -- ant.bat was pointing to the 32 bit version of Java; changing JAVA_HOME to the 64 bit version fixed it.
Gotta love that error message! thanks, Scott Scott Stark/Oakland/IBM@IBMUS sst...@us.ibm.com 400 W. 15th Street, 12th floor Austin, TX 78722 1-512-469-6512 (T/L: 595-6512) From: Andy Stevens <insomniacpeng...@googlemail.com> To: Ant Users List <user@ant.apache.org> Date: 12/02/2011 12:07 PM Subject: Re: Ant execution error: "Files was unexpected at this time." At a guess, the unexpected "Files" is part of "C:\Program Files" and there's a batch file somewhere that needs quotes adding around some command? But don't bet any money on that as I've never even seen Windows 7, much less run Ant on it...
