Description

After installing Groovy using groovy-1.5.7-installer.exe, I noticed problems to start my WebLogic server...
After investigation it turned out it was no longer possible to run 'java' from command line, it did work when using 'java.exe'
Some further investigation showed that the environment variable PATHEXT was now PATHEXT=;.groovy;.gy in stead of the usual value PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH

Needless to say Groovy left the building in the mean time... (
