Thank you Paul.  I tried it as an environment variable, I tried 
introducing it as a qualifier on the command line with a hyphen 
delimiter, but only after reading the documentation did I finally 
realise that it is a command-line qualifier which requires a slash ("/") 
delimiter !  Works for me, but in the meantime I had performed a Start / 
Control Panel / Programs and features / Uninstall, so I cannot be 
certain that it would have worked without that.  I will try again shortly.
