RE: emacsclient and emacsclientw don't work in Windows Vista x64 RTM

[Deutsch, Will]

Hi,

No, I'm not using alternate editor nor and I using -a... I actually tried
setting ALTERNATE_EDITOR

Is this an issue with the EmacsW32 distribution? Do I need to take it up
with them or build my own?
I know this distribution works fine on Server 2003, Server 2003 x64, XP Pro,
and XP Pro x64. Vista x64 is the only place that has this problem. 

I suspect MS changed or removed the code that allows the file path code to
resolve / and \ that same.

Cheers,
Will

I suspected as much.

Are you using the ALTERNATE_EDITOR environment variable? Because the
emacsclient.exe from the unpatched distribution shouldn't try to
execute runemacs.exe *at all*, unless you're doing

 C:\yourpath\emacsclient -a runemacs.exe my-file.txt
