Windows executables not DOS in beta

Windows executables not DOS in beta

[Christopher G D Tipper]

Hi,

I just updated to the latest beta on Vista and I get the following 
executing texexec.exe:
This program cannot be run in DOS mode.

Isn't this just a compiler switch? Would be helpful as I am calling 
texexec from a Tcl script.

Christopher

I stumbled upon it in my XP box. I checked out on google and it seemed 
that this bug had someting to do with the presence of multiple copies of 
cygwin1.dll in your executable path.

However, wiping out all supplemental cygwin copies did not address the 
problem :-(

Greetings,
Max

No still not working. I've discounted the 'cygwin1.dll' issue as there 
are only two copies on my hard-disk and the non-Context one is 
definitely not on my path.

OK, further investigations suggests that ctxtools has been fixed but 
texexec returns the same message, "This program cannot be run in DOS 
mode." No problem, it's not urgent.
