Thanks for the reply. Sorry about that. I saw that when I went back to look more closely. I think I had just assumed that Publican-installer.exe was the latest version. >> And it won't run on my Windows 7 system. > > Can you tell us why? It was missing a MsCRT DLL. But I ran the 2.3 installer and saw the missing DLL was included. So that is probably fixed. Unfortunately, the Publican-Installer-2.3.exe tries to download some ImageMagic files during the install and for whatever reason the estimated time to finish was over an hour. I was too impatient and quit. I'll try again later tonight. >> So, I'm guessing there is really not much support for running publican >> on Windows.

Is it just the installer you are having problems with, or is it the Windows .exe itself? Thanks again for the reply. It is good to know that there will at least an effort to get 3.0 working on Windows. I thought maybe the Windows effort was abandoned. -- Mark Miesfeld _______________________________________________ publican-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/publican-list Wiki: https://fedorahosted.org/publican
