Hi Richard,
I've got a quick question : since XWiki Enterprise uses a client - server
architecture and is meant to be installed on the server and accessed through
a browser over the network, why would you need to have XWiki Enteprise start
each time windows start ?
Why don't you simply keep your windows server up all the time, with XWiki
Enterprise running on top of it all the time ?

Hi,
Some user observations on installing and running XWiki on Windows Vista:
I tried installing (as administrator) the latest version of XWiki (using
the
slick looking Windows installer) on Windows Vista and it seemed to install
ok, but when I tried running it up using the XWiki starup shortcut on the
desktop it couldn't find the start_xwiki.bat in the XWiki directory. I
looked and found it under the jetty directory, so moved them to the XWiki
directory and tried again, but got access denied errors and can't write to
the log file errors in the startup window. When I ran the the
start_xwiki.bat directly from a command window it started up correctly and
worked fine. So it looks like some configuration, permissions issues need
addressing in the next release of XWiki.
To simply things is it possible to install XWiki directly as a Windows
service so it always comes up when Windows starts? Does anyone know how to
do this? Maybe this could be done for the next release of XWiki? The easier
and quicker XWiki can be installed and run up then more likely it is to be
used by more users.
New WYSIWYG editor
Like the new editor ... but it's still got a long way to go ... I'd like to
see some easy WYSIWYG way of laying out tables, columns, rows, frames by
being able to drag them to the desired positions and sizes.
Document storage in XWiki
Like to have the option to store attached documents external to any XWiki
database in some sort of directory structure, for ease of backup and to
ease
performance issues when the database gets stuffed with huge documents.
Hope these observations help.
Regards,
Richard
