The problem might to due to using an UNC path (//machine//blah/...) instead
of the traditional DOS path ("H:/blah/...").
E.g., if my working directory has a UNC path, cmd.exe will not work as
expected:
> getwd()
[1] "\\\\server/dept/devel/bill-sandbox"
> system("C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\cmd.exe /c echo foo bar", intern=TRUE)
[1] "'\\\\server\\dept\\devel\\bill-sandbox'"
[2] "CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory."
[3] "UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory."
[4] "foo bar"
You can test that by mapping "\\hes-nas-prairie.hes.adhes.hesge.ch/Home_S
<http://hes-nas-prairie.hes.adhes.hesge.ch/Home_S/sylvain.weber/Documents/R/win-library/4.0/x13binary/bin/x13ashtml.exe>"
to a driver letter and using letter-colon everywhere instead of "\\...".
