Omaha build failed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I setup the Omaha pack as described in "Developer Setup Guide"
2. I open a command prompt and change directory to my main omaha folder (where 
the hammer.bat and main.scons and so on files/folders are).
3. I type hammer in the command prompt and get the following error:
      'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file
4. Assuming I'm missing an entry in the PATH environment variable I add such 
that point to my Python folder (C:\Python24 - where python was installed and 
where python.exe is)
5. Once again I open a command prompt and go to the omaha folder. This time 
when I type "hammer" in the command line I get the following error:

TypeError: len() of unsized object:
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\scons-2.1.0.alpha.20101125\SCons\Script\Main.py", line 1338:    _exec_main(parser, values)

  File "C:\Python24\lib\ntpath.py", line 90:    assert len(path) > 0

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I suppose I should end up with compile success

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
  I'm working on Windows 2008 R2 and I tried both the omaha from the svn trunk as well as the one provided in the following archive:
          http://omaha.googlecode.com/files/omaha-src-r104.zip

I think you are running into an incompatibility with the alpha version of 
SCons.  Try using the 1.3.x stable release instead and see if it continues to 
repro.
