Found the problem. java.io.File.mkdirs() does not work for some reason.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

It felt down to be an Odin problem: its implementation of the _fullpath()/_wfullpath() MSVCRT APIs was forwarding the job to _fullpath() of kLIBC, however, among other differences, the latter cannot resolve non-existing functions while the former is capable of doing so. Fortunately, the MSVCRT implementation present in Odin provided a necessary version of _fullpath() that it was switched to (r 21550 in Odin SVN).

After that, the problem with File.mkdirs() has gone. As well as the problems with both installers.
