I downloaded the current binary packages uwin-base and uwin-dev and tried to
install on a machine running Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 x86_64. The
uwin-base exe ran for a long time, maybe hanging up, and eventually issued a
message 'installation successful'. But when I started the shell, it seemed
to be running for a few seconds, then suddenly died, with a message that
said that login.exe had stopped working correctly.

I then attempted the same thing with the binary packages from 2006, which
have been installed on XP 64 bit machines and have been running fine. On the
Vista machine, though, the installation failed with a message that said that
the installation failed. Is anything known about UWIN on Vista? UWIN always
worked fine with NT, 2000, and XP, so I was expecting it would with Vista as
well.  

I have never used a Windows machine without the Korn shell so I feel a
little lost now. There is a source uwin-base distribution and I am willing
to try it if VC++ Express Edition is able to compile it, but the UWIN
website says that it requires uwin-base binary, uwin-dev binary, and INIT,
which I really don't understand because I am trying to generate uwin-base
binary from uwin-source in the first place. I would appreciate it if someone
could explain how or if I could use the source package.
