I have exactly the same problem. Also Windows 2000, SP4, 32-bit. Got source and runtime from unstable/unix/vim-7.3c.tar.bz2 Binaries from unstable/pc/gvim73c.zip , unstable/pc/vim73cw32.zip Error message "<path>gvim.exe is not a valid Win32 application." Same with vim.exe and xxd.exe. I then compiled gvim.exe and vim.exe with MinGW and they run just fine. BIG+Python 2.6. Instructions are here (some refinement needed): http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Build_Python-enabled_Vim_on_Windows_with_MinGW These instructions are intended for people like me: a Vim user but not a programmer by profession, don't know C/C++ and never compiled anything before. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
