[Anthill] VSS help needed

[Marcio Marchini]

Correction: if I run from the cmd-line, from c:\temp:

cmd /x/c cd /d C:\java\anthill-1.8.0.264\work\ContinuousBuildExample && 
v:\win32\ss cp $/ContinuousBuildExample -Ybuilds && v:\win32\ss get * 
-Ybuilds -R -I-Y -O-


The checkout does happen, and into the current dir, c:\temp, and not 
into the "C:\java\anthill-1.8.0.264\work\ContinuousBuildExample"


Any suggestions? It looks like these commands are being executed in 
separate contexts and therefore the "cd /d 
C:\java\anthill-1.8.0.264\work\ContinuousBuildExample" does not apply 
later on.

I suspect this may be the same problem that the Tomcat service is 
having. It is probably failing because ContinuousBuildExample  probably 
does not exist as a subdir wherever "." is when the service is running.


	Suggestions? Thanks,


marcio
