Our code has been tested on XP, Vista and 7 before deploying it in the official release. We are using a (standard) plugin for the NSIS installer to modify the PATH variable, which presumably causes this problem. One question: does this issue happen again if you (are willing to) install BaseX a second time? This might help us to reproduce the problem, and find a quick fix.
