    Hi there,

    I noticed that the GNUwin32 patch command opens up an extra console when it
    runs in a console in Windows 7 (seven) or Server 2008, it is unusable under
    these conditions. No problem when running from Windows XP or Server 2003.

    Is there something obvious I missed?

    Thanks in advance,

    When you run 'patch --version' you should see this:

    I had the same problem and couldn't find work around even with manifest files. So I end up installing Cygwin for 64-bit versions of Windows and it works fine! You just need to find "patch" package during installation and don't forget to add path to you bin directory in "Environment Variables: System variables: Path
