Problems attempting to build from command line

Win XP/SP2
AI 3.3.1

None of the following command lines work for me. No error messages are displayed. Control simply returns to the command prompt.

However, if I remove the /build from the command line, AI is launched and the specified aip file is opened. What am I doing wrong?

Please note, the commands below are all one line but will probably appear wrapped.

"C:\Program Files\Caphyon\Advanced Installer\AdvancedInstaller.exe" /build C:\@ActiveData\Languages\Spanish\Setup\adata.aip

C:\PROGRA~1\Caphyon\ADVANC~1\ADVANC~1.EXE /build C:\@ActiveData\Languages\Spanish\Setup\adata.aip

start "title" /wait C:\PROGRA~1\Caphyon\ADVANC~1\ADVANC~1.EXE /build C:\@ActiveData\Languages\Spanish\Setup\adata.aip

The problem was that my builds were up to date and nothing needed to be done.

When using AI in GUI mode, a message to that effect is displayed but when running from the command line, the process exits without doing anything. This is what confused me and made me assume that the commands I was using were not behaving the way they should.

In order to force a build I simply erased the target .msi files and now all is well.
