Description
During testing of 5.0.2 server with Ice 3.5, I tried doing bin\omero import C:\Users\ome\Desktop\test on my Windows 7 VM. The test folder contained 4 folders: dicom, dv, dv_single and lei.
An NPE appears randomly during the import process:

This needs verification on a bare-metal Windows VM to exclude any I/O issues that VirtualBox? could introduce.

Interesting! Still not sure I understand how this happened, but if we see something like this on a user's VM it will be good that we can make a suggestion. Is it clear enough to document somehow?

I think that http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/omero5/sysadmins/system-requirements.html does a good enough job. I'd be wary of encouraging or mentioning running OMERO in a Windows Virtualbox VM (our OVA is an exception - it's for testing purposes, runs Linux and has more resources available due to no GUI).
And that is another case of VM-bias. After upgrading the settings in VirtualBox? to use 2 CPU cores and 4096 MB of the host system's RAM, the NPEs disappeared (tried 3 times in a row). This means my VM settings were below the minimum system requirements for OMERO.
