"line 36: cd: HOME not set" in start.sh in Boot2Docker installed using Docker for Windows v1.6.0

I have installed Docker on my Windows laptop using Docker for Windows Installer v1.6.0. When I ran the start.sh script for the first time, it initializes and starts the VM, but then the script gives the error "line 36: cd: HOME not set" and exits:

C:\Program Files\Boot2Docker for Windows>start.sh

Writing C:\Users\Administrator\.boot2docker\certs\boot2docker-vm\key.pem

To connect the Docker client to the Docker daemon, please set:
    export DOCKER_CERT_PATH='C:\Users\Administrator\.boot2docker\certs\boot2docker-vm'
    export DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=1
    export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://192.168.59.103:2376

    export DOCKER_CERT_PATH='C:\\Users\\Administrator\\.boot2docker\\certs\\boot2docker-vm'
    export DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=1

You can now use `docker` directly, or `boot2docker ssh` to log into the VM.
C:\Program Files\Boot2Docker for Windows\start.sh: line 36: cd: HOME not set

C:\Program Files\Boot2Docker for Windows>

Lines 36 and 37 of the script are:

cd
exec "$BASH" --login -i

I've had to make some changes to the install to get this far:

• When start.sh opened WordPad, I made C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe Windows' default program for .sh files


• When start.sh encountered the error "line 5: clear: command not found", I added C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin to my system's path


• When the VM failed to start with "error in run: Failed to start machine "boot2docker-vm": exit status 1", I ran boot2docker delete and boot2docker download to delete the VM and download the ISO again

Now I'm stuck on the error "line 36: cd: HOME not set" in start.sh.

Docker's Windows Installer v1.6.0 was just published yesterday (April 16), so there's not much help on it yet (such as a GitHub or Docker's forums).

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
