[erlang-questions] Specifying directories that contain .beam files

[Yash Ganthe]

I set the environment variable in Windows but get an error:

E:\DummyErlQAU>set ERL_LIBS="C:\Program Files\erl5.9.1\lib\erlsom-1.2.1"

E:\DummyErlQAU>erl
{error_logger,{{2012,10,24},{14,28,26}},std_error,"File operation
error: eio. Target: \"C:\Program Files\erl5.9.1\lib\erlsom-1.2.1\".
Function: list_dir. Process: code_server."}

=ERROR REPORT==== 24-Oct-2012::10:28:26 ===
File operation error: eio. Target: "C:\Program
Files\erl5.9.1\lib\erlsom-1.2.1". Function: list_dir. Process:
code_server.
Eshell V5.9.1  (abort with ^G)

What could be wrong?
