Unable to execute command 'tasm.exe' with Borland - inline-assembly

Question

I'm using Borland 4.52 to build an old project and I'm running into this issue.
When my build script enters a module that contains the assembly code, I have :
INFO : root.compile : ==================================================
DEBUG : root.compile : Building module
INFO : root.compile : ==================================================
Cleaning...
INFO : root.compile : Thread Handler said : 1 was created

I have already checked:
if tasm.exe is really in C:\Bc45\bin\bcc (it is),
all my environment variables,
the folders rights (full control)
when I enter TASM in CMD, it show correctly the help of TASM
when I execute it within Borland and with directly ASM files, it's OK

Build complete bcpp31.obj bcpprtl.obj are up-to-date
And, it worked fine in an other computer with the same OS (Seven Entreprise SP 1).
If you have other any ideas, I shall be grateful.
Thanks

Check if the path to Borland in PATH is within first few (128) characters, if not move it to beginning. Check if there is no other tasm.exe than Borland in your PATH.
