Follow-up Comment #4:

Ok, that makes sense.

Can you see if the following change works for you instead:


diff --git a/scripts/miscellaneous/run.m b/scripts/miscellaneous/run.m
--- a/scripts/miscellaneous/run.m
+++ b/scripts/miscellaneous/run.m
@@ -61,7 +61,7 @@ function run (script)
   if (! isempty (d))
     if (exist (d, "dir"))
       startdir = pwd ();
-      d = canonicalize_file_name (d);
+      d = make_absolute_filename (d);
       unwind_protect
         cd (d);
         evalin ("caller", sprintf ("source ('%s%s');", f, ext),


Some work was done recently to make the make_absolute_filename better on
Windows paths, and that should probably be used in this situation.

I can delete attachments, but we usually just ignore them.
