[Buildbot-devel] "patch" command not being found on Windows

[Richard Offer]

I'm trying to get the Try scheduler to work , but my Windows build slave is having a problem finding the patch executable

remoteFailed: [Failure instance: Traceback from remote host -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\BOT\win32\bin\lib\site-packages\buildbot_slave-0.8.6p1-py2.7.egg\buildslave\runprocess.py", line 201, in processEnded

exceptions.RuntimeError: Couldn't find executable for 'patch'
exceptions.RuntimeError: Couldn't find executable for 'patch'
]


I've installed it (GNUwin32 version of patch) into C:\Windows\System32\ (as patch.exe) to avoid all issues with PATH. It will quite happily run from the cmd prompt that I use to manually start the build slave.

(I am running everything as the Administrator)

Is buildbot or twisted caching the previous search results ? (I installed the patch command after everything else was up and running)
