Hi Carl,

Any progress on this problem? It would be nice to get an answer, but
I'm afraid it's going to take someone who understands Windows better
than I do. Not being able to run gnuradio-companion from the command
line suggests a bigger problem, possibly related to paths, which might
be the cause of something.
