Issue1538

I have installed version 2.5.1 using the "standard" option.

I double click the batch file.  A DOS box opens and quickly closes.

The program does not run.  I get no error message.  Task manager does not show Jython running.

Same issue when I try to load a .py file from the examples.

Environment is Windows7

I was able to grab a VMware image of Windows 7 RC.
Installed Java SE 6 (Update 17).
Installed jython.
Opened a console window (cmd.exe)
cd to the jython 2.5.1 installation dir, and typed 'jython'
This gave me:
C:\Users\bagside\stuff\jython\jython-2.5.1>jython

When I double click on the jython.bat file, I get:
'\\BAGSIDE-PC\Users\bagside\stuff\jython\jython-2.5.1'
CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory.
UNC paths are not supported.  Defaulting to Windows directory.

There are 2 
  @echo off 
lines at the beginning of jython.bat
Please comment them out as follows:
  REM @echo off
and then try to start jython.bat from a console window (cmd.exe).
The output could be helpful.

Tim provided a console output, saying at the end:
