Oops, sorry for the bad news: the latest version doesn't work on my
Windows machine:

Autotests compiled.
  perf autotests...done
  norm autotests...done
  pref autotests...Fatal error: exception
Invalid_argument("Filename.temp_file: temp dir nonexistent or full")

What I don't understand is that directory %TEMP% and c:\Temp both exist
and there is about 5GB of free space on this disk. The value of %TEMP%
is: 

C:\DOCUME~1\MENTRE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp

c:\Document and settings\mentre\Local Settings\Temp

Any idea?

Yes, it might just much simpler to set "let do_autotests = false" in
config.ml do avoid the non-regression tests. But doing this is also
hiding an error instead of fixing its root cause.

Ok, so I'll put your scripts and doc as-is in a win32 directory in the
source tree. The "official" win32 developer of demexp will improve
it. We just need to find the official win32 developer. :)

Can you send the example of nsis file you have. I would like to see how
l10n is handled.


Yours,
