frankie March 01, 2013, at 03:10 PM: If you do not want to wait until the next release to get this fixed, a patch for EDGE v2.3 has been released which fixes this issue. You can read about it here: Planet WCS Patch 130228 Release Notes

frankie February 28, 2013, at 10:29 AM: As it turns out, this error is not specific to Windows. It looks like it is due to EDGE being in a directory path that has a space in the name (such as "Program Files"). This was throwing off the tcl argument string. One workaround until a patch is released is to put the EDGE directory in a path that does not contain spaces.
