I get the following error output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\AppHolder\XDM\setup.py", line 676, in
main()
File "D:\AppHolder\XDM\setup.py", line 642, in main
result = buildWIN(buildParams)
File "D:\AppHolder\XDM\setup.py", line 267, in buildWIN
p = subprocess.Popen([ sys.executable, 'setup.py' ], cwd=auto_process_dir)
File "C:\Python27\lib\subprocess.py", line 679, in init
errread, errwrite)
File "C:\Python27\lib\subprocess.py", line 896, in _execute_child
startupinfo)
WindowsError: [Error 267] The directory name is invalid

I have googled quite a bit. I am not really familier with Python but I did fiddle aroudn with the popen function in subprocess.py. None of the suggestions I found nor my own tweaks resolved this.

I also tried executing all command as administrator in case it was permissions related. No luck.

I however have not messed with any functions, but I have googled the crap out of it...
