Hi Valerio, The fact that Gerbv works at all on Windows is a bonus. Support for Windows is entirely at the mercy of other groups that develop Windows specific interface libraries.
It is regrettable that Gerbv exits without any kind of error message. I cannot say whether the issues that you are experiencing are some kind of deficiency in an interface library or not. Perhaps you can look into that yourself. Addressing Windows interface issues to this forum is perhaps tilting at windmills. If you are experiencing directory dependency issues, take a look to your project file. Are the paths to your Gerber files relative or absolute? You may need to hand edit your project files to get Gerbv to behave as you would like. Failing that, there may be some issue with your computer's environment variables.
