Description Mark Longair 2011-07-28 20:00:09 CDT 
I'm passing along this bug report from a user who emailed me.  On double-clicking on fiji-win32.exe the user gets the error:

   "ERROR: failed to launch (errno=22;Invalid argument)"

I'll attach the screenshot with the complete error message.

many thanks,
mark

The issue seems to be a network path (starts with \\<host>\...). If that is true, fear that this might be much more complicated than just working around exec() not grokking an UNC path; as far as I remember, LoadLibrary() and opendir() and all kinds of standard C functions do not operate on UNC paths on Windows, but rather throw an error.

Can you please map a drive number and try again?

I am assuming that the bug only happens on unmapped path. For the moment, I'll not have time to work on it if mapping the path to a drive letter works around the issue... Feel free to reopen if the problem becomes "unworkaroundable".
