OK, I saved the above as a batch file in C:\Windows\System32 and ran it from there. Interestingly enough, it opened and ran MSPAINT.EXE at the end when MSPAINT would not run by double-clicking its filename.

The resulting log file is attached. I hope there is some sort of "aha moment" contained therein.

It seems odd to me that the "mkdir C:\WebSymbols" line appears after the preceding line that actually references the directory, which ended up with no files in it in any case. No doubt there is a good reason for it...
