Sorry for late reply, I was away on vacations. To install DX on a drive other than C: you need to install Cygwin, start Cygwin Bash shell and type (for example to install on a d: drive)
cd / mkdir d mount -b d: /d If you are using DX 4.0.6 then folliwng install instructions on your screen and change the directory to d:\opendx when prompted. You must edit Opendx.bat in opendx\bin directory to reflect your install PATH. Exceed 5.1 is not tested and I cannot say what is the problem. The DX is linked to X11R6.4 libs and required X11 libs are included in the archive so this should not be a problem. Feel free to ask if you still have problems Suhaib ----------- Hello, Would someone with experience in installing Cygwin and OpenDX on a drive other than C: (for winNT) be willing to share their configuration settings with me? I can't seem to get past an "Unable to connect to dxexec" error message. My TCP/IP is installed, and Exceed 5.x seems to be (at least) X11R6.1 compliant. Any ideas/suggestions would be most welcome!
