<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>So it looks like there are 2
issues here. One is the immediate issue: You don’t have %HOME% set, which is
why this error occurs. <span style='background:yellow'>Underneath that there is
a real issue: IronRuby isn’t searching for a %HOME% replacement in the same way
