Description

The default path for 32 bit software on 64 bit windows installations is something like C:\Program Files (x86). This interferes with SET commands in our batch scripts of the the form (set varname=value). Since the value may contain a closing paren, the command interpreter gets confused. Fix by using the alternative syntax of set "varname=value".
