Comment (by NeilMitchell):

 I've attached a patch, which I think should fix the issue. This probably
 needs to be merged in to 6.10 as well. I haven't tested the patch (other
 than it compiles), but its fairly simple, so hopefully will work.

 When was getBaseDir altered? If this code is new for 6.10, then it is
 almost certainly worth releasing a new version for Windows. Depending on
 peoples setups, it could be quite common.
