This may not apply, but here goes. I had this error on a certain machine for quite some time. Only on one machine running my program. I found that the machine had an invalid path statement in their autoexec.bat. You might want to check to see if you have a malformed path statement in your program or on the system you are getting errors on.

My best guess.
