Berkshelf 'berks install' fails looking for U:

I've downloaded the Chef Development Kit, and I'm trying to write a chef cookbook. I've done berks init, and then berks install. With or without specifying any dependencies, it fails when looking for U:. What is it looking for, and why? I did have a network U:, but have now unmapped it to try and stop this, but I can see no reason why berkshelf would want to look there anyway.

Edit: Should probably mention I'm on a Windows 7 box.

It turns out that I was suffering the same problem as outlined in Vagrant Berkshelf - Shelf Path?. Unbeknownst to me, my HOMEDRIVE was set to U:, so oeverriding this with the BERKSHELF_PATH environment variable was required. Setting this to any existing folder allowed the install to complete successfully.

For completeness:

set BERKSHELF_PATH=C:\Berks

Or of course do it through the Control Panel so it persists.
