Does that help?
Comment 2 Kim Moir CLA 2010-09-14 09:47:44 EDT 
Okay, so what is the home directory of the hudson user running the build?  I can't tell because I can't see the machine :-)

It seemed to be working before in bug 321055.
Comment 3 Eclipse Webmaster CLA 2010-09-14 10:49:32 EDT 
As far as I know nothing has changed(aside from the addition of the signing key).  But I set the HOMEDRIVE(c:) and HOMEPATH (\users\Hudsonbuild) vars as suggested.  I'll reboot it here in a minute since that solves so many windows issues.

-M.
Comment 4 Eclipse Webmaster CLA 2011-01-03 15:18:45 EST 
Is this still an issue?

Closing as fixed; please reopen if it isn't.
