Hi Nicholas, You're correct - it has been covered before. The quick answer is no - there is no complete version of Rivendell which will run under Windows. There are a few of the apps (rdlogedit, rdlogmanager, rdsoftkeys, and rmlsend) which have Windows builds. But the core of the system relies on features that you can find in Linux, but don't have Windows equivalents (the way that Windows handles, or mishandles is perhaps a better term - file sharing and needs file locks to make things happy comes to mind)
I'm a little surprised that you're having difficulty with your ASI card in Linux. As far as I am aware, the card you have is supported by the HPI driver. For sites that do want to have Windows desktops but also want to run Rivendell / Linux, the options are to either remote desktop (VNC) into the Rivendell machine, or it is also possible to run X on Windows to access the Linux box (xming seems to work well for this). But either of these options still needs to have a working Linux / Rivendell setup running Lorne Tyndale > > So, this question may be pointless, but I feel like I should ask it anyway. > Backstory: I've had a awfully frustrating time getting my ASI 5211 card > working on Linux.
