Hi Amila, There are three parts to your question of running on Windows: Airavata GUI Client (XBaya) Airavata Services Applications Airavata executes XBaya is supported on windows as of now, you will have to use JNLP to launch it. If you are starting the GUI from command line, as you rightly pointed it only cygwin works and native batch scripts have to be added. The Services either run in embedded mode or tomcat again same thing with cygwin, native scripts will be great. The third aspect of windows compatibility is a very tricky one and will need to look at how applications can be forked and tracked on windows machine. I would't try this for now. BTW, patches welcome :) Suresh > Thanks > AmilaJ
