That all seems on the up-and-up.... I think at the moment we're at a but of an impasse as far as trying to debug this one. However, we'll hopefully be shipping 1.12 later this week. When that lands, I'm gonna try following up with you to see if you can follow some other repro steps with 1.12. That should include a bunch more diagnostics which should help to figure out what's going on here.

Couple other questions off the dome while thinking about this:

• Are you trying to run cmd.exe elevated / as an admin? (this includes anything that might autoelevate cmd.exe, like this checkbox:
  
• Does your machine have UAC disabled?

Are you trying to run cmd.exe elevated / as an admin? (this includes anything that might autoelevate cmd.exe, like this - No
