Re: environment setup problem with "env -"

Instead of using env, set USERPROFILE to something with no space. 

There are various workarounds for USERPROFILE.  I'll probably set it

I am using "env" to prevent users from setting random (as far as I

build system -- as happened here when USERPROFILE snuck in under
the radar.
