Re: [Wrapper-user] Problems with 3.5.7 under Windows XP

[Karel V. <ka...@ou...>]

Hm, a customer is having the same problem, using a non-emulated
machine running Win XP SP2.
They don't have a lingering wrapper.exe (and there is no write lock on
the log files). The testwrapper works
I'm trying to find more details which could cause the difference, but
it may take a while. In the mean time they will use 3.5.6.

Regards,
Karel
