I have also found that the script runs perfectly if Squeak is launched from a windows shortcut, or if it is lauched from a cygwin bash prompt, although in both cases only local names for the script work, fully qualified names do not - producing the same error.
Oops. Not quite.
The situaltion appears to be the following: (for me at least)
-If Squeak cannot find the specified script, it produces the error. -Fully qualified names for scripts never work. -The script will only be found if it is in the root folder of the drive on which Squeak is running, i.e. if Squeak is in c:\squeak\ then the script must be in c:\ in order to be found. If Squeak is in u:\squeak\ then the script must be in u:\ -The above holds true whether invoking the script from the Windows command prompt, Cygwin bash prompt, or from a Windows shortcut. -Squeak's ability to find the script is not influenced by whether the script is in a directory which is included in the PATH environment variable.
I also note that when firing up a FileList2 in 3.6, no folder is selected as default. Previously, FileList2 would open on the folder containing Squeak (presumably the folder returned by FileDirectory default). Co-incidence?
In 3.6, FileList(1) still has the correct behavour, and opens on the folder containing Squeak. I tried switching off the FileList2 preference, saving the image, quiting, then trying to invoke a script from the same folder as squeak. Sadly this made no difference.

This should work. It does on my Windows XP machine, in the directory C:\Squeak\3.6
when the image is in the same directory.
where the following is set:
(computer name is ned-tablet) assoc .image=squeak_image ftype squeak_image=c:\squeak\squeak.exe "%1" %* net share Squeak=c:\Squeak
These work:
squeak.image file:///squeak/3.6/hi.st squeak.image file:/squeak/3.6/hi.st
and these don't:
squeak.image file://c:/squeak/3.6/hi.st squeak.image file:////ned-tablet/Squeak/3.6/hi.st
And if I change directory to (say) C:\ and type in
c:\squeak\3.6\squeak.image
and then try to open a FileList2 I don't see it open correctly.
If I further query in a workspace:
FileDirectory default => 'c:\squeak\3.6'
(note that this is all lower case).
And then if I set it explicitly:
FileDirectory setDefaultDirectory: 'C:\Squeak\3.6'
and then open a FileList2 it works fine.
This sounds like a bug with the FileList that I fixed some time ago. Perhaps that fix has not yet made it into the image.

They aren't connected. I think what's happening is that the processing of the command-line arguments is wrong; they aren't getting converted into the right file:// urls.
