Hi Yiv,
I'm not sure how to proceed since the Wiki specifically asks for no more 
comments on hugin's dislike of '&' in a path.  On the other hand, when it's in a 
Win7 user-name things do get more complicated as all user data paths start with 
C:\users\Anne & Dick\..... , including the default TEMP and TMP definitions.

I think I did uncover a related bug, in that even changing the hugin preference for 
'Temporary dir' didn't help.  Make, or whichever module is causing the problem, 
seems to ignore this.  I picked on Make because that seemed to be suggested in 
the Wiki FAQ, and the error occurs before Make actually starts running.  'Make' 
also appears in the error log.  I'm using the Make supplied with hugin - I did have 
another one on my computer but that wasn't involved.
Regards, Dick H.
