Yes I'm using MKS. I'm using the exact buildfile that worked on Unix with this: On windows I get: Execut failed: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: script.ksh error=193 --- Nested Exception --- java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: script.ksh error=193 at java.lang.Win32Process.create(Native Method) etc. etc. I can run the script from the command line if I do: ./script.ksh I saw a simialr Nested issue on Linux a while back and the fix was to use the shell as the executable(/bin/sh) then use the script as an arguement so this is what one has: sh script.sh -----Original Message----- From: Diane Holt [mailto:holtdl@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, April 16, 2001 4:56 PM To: ant-user@jakarta.apache.org Subject: RE: ant+shell script --- Dana Rice wrote: > Dianne, the exec worked find as you explained on Unix but not on > Windows.

If you do, then you should be able to run a shell-script the same way you're doing on Unix -- if you don't, then a shell-script isn't going to work, with or without Ant.
