Re^4: system perl api fails with exit code 65280 on Win 2003

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
