[coLinux-devel] Failed startup on XP Home Edition SP1a

[Matt B. <ma...@zi...>]

Tried to fire up coLinux on my XP Home Edition SP1a + current
critical patches  installation.  (Hey, I wasn't going to plunk down
the money for a better version of an OS I wasn't going to use on
this laptop.) ;-)

TAP-Win32 installed fine, though the procedure appears markedly
different under Home.  But it is there in the network connections,
though it's marked with a red X because it's "down", which I assume
is media status.

Result:

C:\coLinux>colinux-daemon.exe
Cooperative Linux daemon
Installing kernel driver
Error initializing kernel driver
Removing kernel driver
Stopping driver service
Removing driver service
Daemon failed: -1

C:\coLinux>

Any hints as to increasing verbosity etc. would be much appreciated.
All files are as the README asks them to be, and I am a "Computer
Administrator" in XP Home's user panel (which is significantly
suckier than 2000's, or I gather XP Pro's.)

My immediate suspicion is that XP Home isn't gonna fly.  I may try
to borrow my wife's 2000 laptop later on to test.
