Abnormal termination

Hi,

I just got my Duemilanove board and have followed the instructions to install it. When I try to compile or upload the sample Blink program (or any other program) the status bar says Compiling... and I get the following message:

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
Couldn't determine program size: C:\Program Files\arduino-0015\hardware/tools/avr/bin/avr-size: 'G:\Temp\build28812.tmp\Blink.hex': No such file

I checked and the build28812.tmp directory avr-size is looking for does exist, with the cpp file in it, but no hex file. I removed any reference to cygwin from my path as I saw that this may cause problems.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

ok, I figured this out. Once I changed the TEMP directory location in my windows environment to be on the same drive (C:) as the Arduino installation everything started working.

Thanks!
