Hello, Stephen,

I encountered this problem before.  Here is my short time fix, please let 
me know if you find something better.
Thanks again, Dr. Rossini, for your quick response.

I tried pathSeparator <- ";" and then .JavaInit(), but it did not work, I 
guess because the pathSeparator statement overrode mine.

But, thanks for the idea, I tried version$os <- "Win32" and it worked.

How about:
         pathSeparator <- ";"
