Subject: Seasonal adjustment with seas - Error: X-13 has returned a non-zero exist status

Dear Bill, Jeff, and Bert,
Thanks so much for the replies.
Bill is absolutely right. The problem came from the UNC path.
I could solve the issue by adding the following lines to my Rprofile:
myPaths <- .libPaths()
myPaths <- c('M:/R/win-library/4.0', myPaths[2]) # where 'M:/R/win-library/4.0' is the traditional DOS path corresponding to the UNC path \\...
.libPaths(myPaths)
Thanks again!
Sylvain

The problem might to due to using an UNC path (//machine//blah/...) instead of the traditional DOS path ("H:/blah/...").
E.g., if my working directory has a UNC path, cmd.exe will not work as expected:
> getwd()
[1] "\\\\server/dept/devel/bill-sandbox"
> system("C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\cmd.exe /c echo foo bar", intern=TRUE)
[1] "'\\\\server\\dept\\devel\\bill-sandbox'" ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
[2] "CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory."
[3] "UNC paths are not supported.? Defaulting to Windows directory." ?
[4] "foo bar"? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??
You can test that by mapping "\\http://hes-nas-prairie.hes.adhes.hesge.ch/Home_S/sylvain.weber/Documents/R/win-library/4.0/x13binary/bin/x13ashtml.exe" to a driver letter and using letter-colon everywhere instead of "\\...".

Dear all,
I am using function "seas" from package "seasonal" for seasonal adjustment of time series. I am using the latest version of R (4.0.2, 64-bit).
The following lines provide a small working example:
## EXAMPLE ##
library(seasonal)
m <- seas(AirPassengers)
m
On my private laptop, everything is going smoothly, and I obtain the following output:
## OUTPUT ##
Call:
seas(x = AirPassengers)
Coefficients:
? ? ? ? ? Weekday? ? ? ? ? Easter[1]? ? ? ? ?AO1951.May? MA-Nonseasonal-01?
? ? ? ? ?-0.00295? ? ? ? ? ? 0.01777? ? ? ? ? ? 0.10016? ? ? ? ? ? 0.11562?
? ?MA-Seasonal-12?
? ? ? ? ? 0.49736?
But on my office computer, I receive the following error message after issuing " m <- seas(AirPassengers)":
## ERROR ##
Error: X-13 has returned a non-zero exist status, which means that the current spec file cannot be processed for an unknown reason.
In addition: Warning message:
In system(cmd, intern = intern, wait = wait | intern, show.output.on.console = wait,? :
? running command 'C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c "\\http://hes-nas-prairie.hes.adhes.hesge.ch/Home_S/sylvain.weber/Documents/R/win-library/4.0/x13binary/bin/x13ashtml.exe" C:\Users\SYLVAI~1.WEB\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmpe0MDE7\x132d0cb8579b9/iofile -n -s' had status 1
A similar issue has been already mentioned in various blogs, for instance:
https://rdrr.io/github/christophsax/seasonal/src/travis/test-x13messages.R
http://freerangestats.info/blog/2015/12/21/m3-and-x13
https://github.com/christophsax/seasonal/issues/154
but I couldn't find any solution yet.
Does anyone have any idea why this issue is occurring?
Thanks very much.
Sylvain
