During an upgrade attempt to tramp 2.1.11 from the default 2.0.55 included with GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.0.2195) on Windows 2000 SP4 I encountered problems caused by tramp trying to call a program that it couldn't find:
tramp.el:2039: (zerop (call-process "reg" nil nil nil "query" (nth 1 (car v))))) tramp.el:5097: (when (zerop (call-process "reg" nil t nil "query" registry)) The intention here is probably "reg.exe", but that is not a standard part of Windows 2000. A tool reg.exe does exist in the "Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 Support Tools" package, sp4supporttools.exe, which can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=f08d28f3-b835-4847- b810-bb6539362473 I would like to suggest that tramp either checks for the existence of this tool before calling it or that the dependency is pointed out and download information is provided in the documentation.
