I had this really bizzare bug with association in Windows 7 and FFI. For some reason calling build.fan produced error Cannot find the library ... Calling fan compilerJava::ClassPath showed that library was safely loaded into /lib/java/ext. I assumed my assoc was pointing to an old version of the fantom so I redid the assoc and to my astonishment the bug persisted. So I now use fan build.fan. Still it might help someone else who is struggling with FFI suddenly going awol.

Well I just "upgraded" to Windows7 myself from XP.
What I saw was the assoc wasn't working correctly until I was able to muck around with my UAC settings and then did it in a console which I launched as an Administrator.
I could write a whole blog post on my Windows 7 thoughts. Nice UI touches, but flaky under the covers.
