Wow! Nice workaround but cannot help this case. If I'd have the power for such a thing I'd change the Win server to Linux. There are too many dependencies in the background which are all Windows related. I cannot add - or better, not allowed to add - virtualbox nor qemu or other layer to the system. And this small app also uses ODBC to connect SQL server on the same Win machine. But the key issue is that I cannot add any other component but maybe Smalltalk app. Smalltalk is my choice and preference. And actually, the app is done.
Anyway, thanks for the idea :) Best regards Robert Ben Coman <b...@openinworld.com> ezt írta (időpont: 2016. febr. 1., H, 10:29): > On Mon, Feb 1, 2016 at 4:04 PM, Robert Kuszinger <kuszin...@giscom.hu> > wrote: > > Who could check if it works at all?
