CreateProcess is an NT thing. It is like a fork+exec, it must
mean that the system can not find a program it wants to run.
This has nothing to do with TCL_LIBRARY or anything like
that. You are going to have to debug this one yourself,
I would say double check that the fully qualified SN bin dir
is on your PATH. You should just be able to run SN by double
clicking on the SN program from the Windows Explorer.

Good luck.
