one possibility might be an incorrect %comspec% value. Please see this FAQ for how to check/fix:

Hi

Check what is your COMSPEC environment variable set to. To do that open command prompt and type:
set COMSPEC

Go to Start menu, choose Run then type
cmd.exe
and click "Run"

That will open the command prompt

comspec is not recognized as a internal or external command operable program or batch file
