Hi, Well ... it's some perl source that I'm wanting to be able to patch. (But,yeah ... I know ... that doesn't count :-)
Does anyone have a working patch.exe on Vista ? At every attempt I make to run 'patch' from the cmd.exe command line I'm prompted for admin password and, having provided that, the bloody thing then gets executed (ie runs and exits in a flash) instead of being run from the command line like I want. This happens for: 1) The patch.exe that's part of MSYS. (If I try to run that particular patch.exe from the MSYS shell I just get a flat "permission denied".); 2) GNU patch-2.5.9-7; 3) The patch.exe that I just copied across from my Windows 2000 machine. (As soon as I stuck it on the Vista box I could tell from its icon that the same problem would arise.) Does anyone here happen to know what one needs to do in order to have a useable patch.exe on Vista ?
