MS VS2013 vsdevcmd.bat fails to run with tcmd 17 x64

[paraglider]

This type of line returns a syntax error from req query:

@echo off
for /F "tokens=1,2*" %%i in ('reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\SxS\VS7" /v "12.0"') DO (
@if "%%i"=="12.0" (
echo found
@SET "VS120COMNTOOLS=%%k"
)
)

Duplicate cmd.exe bugs option makes no difference.

Not reproducible here.

What build of 17.0 are you using?

 

[paraglider]

v17.00.77 x64

 

[paraglider]

Current OS is win 8.1 x64

I'm also using 8.1, and cannot reproduce it.

Try it without your "echo off" so we can see what you're actually passing to reg.

Also, try starting TCC with the /I option (which won't load TCMD.INI, run TCSTART, or load plugins).

Even a simpler version shows the same problem ( I am running tcmd elevated):

for /F "tokens=1,2*" %i in ('reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\SxS\VS7 /v 12.0') do echo %i

Same problem happens both on my host machine and a vmware virtual machine running the same os.

Current windows user has a space in its name. If I sign in as the administrator user it works.

Created a new windows user just using my first name. Works ok there as well. So only fails if the windows user is named <first name><space><last name>.

 

[rconn]

Still not reproducible here -- I created a user with a space in the name, logged on as that user, and it works fine.

I don't know why you believe the user name would be relevant, as the registry key doesn't refer to the user.

 

[paraglider]

I don't understand it either. But I believe I have proved it experimentally. If the profile folder in c:\users has a space in the path then the batch fails. Maybe its to do with the full path to tcmd.ini containing a space.

For my original user I renamed the folder in c:\users to remove the space and updated the profile path in the registry in the subkey of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList that corresponds to my user and now tcmd runs the batch file ok.

Thanks for your help. You can consider this issue closed.

IMHO it's unlikely to be directly related to the user name (since I cannot reproduce it locally by only changing that). More likely it's a configuration issue on your system.
