Little known, but Windows does support '/' as a path separator in addition
to '\'. To windows,
c:\a\b\c\d
and
c:/a/b/c/d
are the same. This doesn't apply to the shell (CMD.EXE these days, CMD.COM
back in the MS-DOS days) but the underlying APIs will accept either '/' or
'\'. This has been the case since MS-DOS 2.0.
-spc (So I would try it with forward '/' slashes and see if that works)
