I can see the trouble with the clean script; I think the internally-generated batch file is missing a command to change the drive letter (it has a CD in it...) ... I'll fix that this morning.

I'll add in the registry check for the tools too... that's pretty trivial; if a little quirky (since MS tends to have little regard to keeping such things consistent; and certainly never really cares about anyone when they change that).

Just so I'm clear, you've installed VS (& the SDK) to a location not in %PROGRAMFILES% or %PROGRAMFILES(x86)% ?

Subject: Re: [Coapp-developers] shallow forking feedback

I have a system install on a smallish SSD drive as C: but all software is installed to the largish standard HD as E: ... so the search scheme of ptk won't work in that case. It is probably better to also check the registry and find the actual installation path of the tools.

As for C:\Users and E:\Users, the user folders was also initially on C: but I copied its relocatable content over to E: and then relinked these folders using the "Location" tab of their Properties (i.e. see here for this method: http://www.w7forums.com/change-location-my-documents-folder-t338.html). Again the ptk target directory scheme may not take that into account.

As mentioned below, my clean-command section only contains one line:
    attrib -S -H -R *

Thanks,
Andreas

Also, setting the path isn't necessary. ptk will search for git and other tools in the following directories:

%ProgramFiles(x86)%
%ProgramFiles%
%ProgramW6432%
%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET

Why is there an E:\Users and a C:\Users?

I tried a shallow-fork SDL this weekend as per http://coapp.org/shallow-forking and have some feedback:

To get ptk going and as VS and TortoiseGit user, I needed to manually add the path to Git\bin as well as the path to Windows SDK\bin to the global %PATH% environment variable. Maybe that could be added to the instructions.

Then I got stuck on step 7. with an error:

E:\Users\Andreas Schiffler\Desktop\GIT\SDL>ptk clean

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'C:\Users\Andreas' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Project Cleaned.

My clean-command section only contains
    attrib -S -H -R *
at the moment, so the actual command should not be the cause for this error.

I could do the obvious  - move GIT folder to C:\ - but wanted to ask if there a config setting I am missing or if is this a bug?

Thanks,
--Andreas
