    Hi,
    Initially even I thought there might be something wrong with the command formation, then I tried a different set of simple commands and all of them are failing with the same error. So this looks to be some environment issue.

    C:/WINDOWS/system32/cmd.exe
    C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\cmd.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe
    C:/zip.exe -help
    C:\\zip.exe -help
    C:\zip.exe -help

    Are there any Windows specific environment restrictions that could cause this issue ?

    thanks,
    Prakash
