[tex-live] texindy problems on Win7 (UNC paths?)

[Lars Madsen]

Some data:

texindy -t logfile:

Y:\Users\name\Documents\MATH\artikler\Bog\xxx-Fueq>texindy -t mylog.log -L English fueq_master.idx
Opening logfile "mylog.log" (done)
Reading indexstyle...
Loading module "qRctlFiO10"...

the contents of mylog.log (without the comments at the top):

The official term is folder redirection: selecting a non-default
location for e.g. the user profile or the documents folder. The term
mapping means assigning a drive letter to a UNC path. If you type
`net use' in a command prompt then you get to see all these
mappings.

So what is the output of net use on an affected system?

BTW. If possible, copy-and-paste the text from the command prompt
rather than attaching a screendump.
