Replacement Variable Problem
On our KBox 1000 I've discovered that $(KBOX_DEPENDENCY_DIR) is not expanding correctly. According to http://www.kace.com/support/kb/index.php?action=artikel&cat=5&id=560&artlang=en this should expand to
$(KACE_INSTALL)\packages\kbots\xxx
which $(KACE_INSTALL) should expand to
C:\Program Files\KACE\KBOX
so that my final $(KBOX_DEPENDENCY_DIR) should be
C:\Program Files\KACE\KBOX\packages\kbots\xxx
Instead, I'm getting
C:\Program Files\KACE\KBOX\\packages\kbots\xxx (double backslashes after KBOX).
Anyone else seen behavior like this? As you can imagine, this tends to break scripts (but, believe it or not, only sometimes -- just to add more frustration!)
Thanks!

You could remove "\" from this statement. $(KACE_INSTALL)packages\kbots\xxx Generally directory property value comes with end slash. Jeeoo Santro

Yes indeed. I could also use the entire string directly (it's easy enough to figure out what the folder number is for the final bit of the path).
What I'm really asking is if anyone else has seen this (i.e.: Do I have a server configuration issue or is this reproducible for others?) and if there is a way to fix the $(KACE_DEPENDENCY_DIR) so that it works properly.
Thanks for the suggestion, though!

I can say that I've seen it before, but don't remember what came of it. I probably abandoned whatever I was attempting to do. This might be completely off base, but it might be something with quotes? Regardless, moral of the story is you're not going crazy. - andibogard 12 years ago
