I tried this in BioMart 6. I found that the Java programs run fine, but
not the biomart-perl, even with all the pre-requisites installed. The
biomart-perl installation script seems to use Unix conventions and
utilities for files and directories, which failed to run under Windows
XP (even with some Unix-alike utilities installed, and with Windows
support for forward-slash path separators). I found that the script
repeatedly failed even when I tried to patch it each time, and I gave
up. (The script appears to have some support for Windows conventions,
but it didn't look as if this had actually been tested.)
It would be useful for demo though, if someone could fix the script.
Regards,
Roger.

As long as you can install Apache+mod_perl+the Perl modules on your XP
machine, I can't see any reason why MartView wouldn't work. But, I've
never actually tried it on a Windows machine. Perhaps someone else on
this list has?

Hi mart-dev,
I'm looking to give a demo of Biomart on a Windows laptop? Can BioMart
successfully be run on Windows? is so, are there any troubleshooting tips
for install?
Thanks
Robert
