There is a known issue with things working on Vista having to do the _access() function. For example, the application gcc uses _access() to find other tools such as cc1.exe and the usual gcc fails on Vista -- the usual gcc needs to be patched to work on Vista. If VIM uses _access() to find things, vim is likely to fail too.
My very high level understanding: In older MSVCRT, passing X_OK to _access was the same as passing F_OK. But in Vista, passing X_OK returns the error "invalid param value". --Suresh --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
