      If SystemRoot is not correctly set (either to C:\WINNT or C:\Windows) the p4 client can fail to connect to the perforce server. The error message currently thrown indicates a connection problem, rather than an environment problem, and is very misleading.

      Error thrown by the client is:

      Connect to server failed; check $P4PORT.
TCP connect to 127.0.0.1:1666 failed.
socket: 127.0.0.1:1666: WSAEPROVIDERFAILEDINIT

      Which is equally unhelpful. It should display something like:

      Error running perforce client executable. Is the SystemRoot environment variable and/or plugin option set correctly?
