I installed uwin-base on two machines running XP.On both I installed to
c:\uwin.I don't like "program files" -- too long and a space.On one, when I
prompted to chose c:\users, beforeaccepting I created a junction from
c:\usersto c:\Documents and Settings.
On both, some errors were reported.I don't have detailed notes.On the one, I am
pretty certain no specificerrors were listed, it just gave a summary at the
endsaying there were like two errors.
In both cases, it did appear to mostly work and leavea functioning system.
In both cases, I then "manually uninstalled": net stop "uwin master" rmdir
/q/s c:\uwin that leaves some stuff due to access, so then: take ownership
of c:\uwin in the Explorer gui cacls c:\uwin /e /t /g everyone:f that
fails with "invalid data", so instead: cacls c:\uwin /t /g everyone:f
and finally again rmdir /q/s c:\uwin
and THEN install again, the second time, no errors.
So, this is just unactionable anecdotal evidence ofsome non-specific errors in
setup.
I will likely install on at least one more machine. (a great thing about "free
software" is multi-machine licensing, no "keys" to manage; I probably wouldn't
mind paying for uwin, as long as not per-machine or had to manage "keys")
