Cannot run root from different paritions

ROOT

Hello Rooters,

I am running root version 4.01/04 for win32gdk on a Windows XP. I encountered a strange problem. When I start root from a directory in c: root starts fine and everything works ok. But if I start it from a directory in d: or some other name I get the following errors

[code]D:>root
Warning in TWinNTSystem::SetProgname: Wrong Program path
Error in TWinNTSystem::DynamicPathName: Win32gdk does not exist in .;c:\root/bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;c:\root\bin,
or has wrong file extension (.dll)

I did not see this problem with other versions of root. Has something changed on how path’s are handled internally?

Thank you
