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. Levent Kitis Patuxent River, MD 301-342-8465
