In a default Windows installation of Mono I noticed an issue with the
monobasepath.bat file (put in the Windows directory by the install). It
sets up the environment variables with quotes around them by default.
This causes the Mono runtime to search for the machine.config file in a
location that does not exist. It also incorrectly sets up the path for
the config directory.

Here is what the file looked like when it was installed:
=20
set MONO_BASEPATH=3D"C:\Program Files\Mono-0.25"
set MONO_PATH=3D"C:\Program Files\Mono-0.25\lib"
set MONO_CFG_DIR=3D"C:\Program Files\Mono-0.25\etc\mono"
=20
Here is what it should look like in order to function properly:
=20
set MONO_BASEPATH=3DC:\Program Files\Mono-0.25
set MONO_PATH=3DC:\Program Files\Mono-0.25\lib
set MONO_CFG_DIR=3DC:\Program Files\Mono-0.25\etc
=20
I haven't looked into the code for the installer so I'm not sure what to
do to fix it. But hopefully someone can. :) Not being able to find
the machine.config was causing issues with the XML DOM when trying to
load documents from a local file.

Thanks,
JD
