  • Ticket #9800 – Description

    initial v3  
    11The Windows cmd interpreter badly handles )'s in rem statements, *sometimes* (but not always) closing "if" statements they are nested within. Per docs, parens are illegal in rem commands (see technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490986.aspx).

    3 On my Win7 64bit box, this was causing bootstrap vc12 to go down bizarre paths. One potential fix is to escape the parens, i.e. use ^( and ^) instead of () in comments. I wish I were making this up (sigh).
