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

[Deutsch, Will]

Hi,

I only had the install files left around from the patched files. However, I 
have tried in unpatched, I just don't have the install source as the drive 
from that system image was wiped. I definitely understand the difference 
between the patched and unpatched versions. However, for this issue I saw no 
difference.

Here is more dir output:

Could you please try with only forward slashes too?

Those are both patched versions. The patched version as a P in the name
and the unpatched has a U instead.

I have changed this message in the latest patched version so it says
that it is patched. I have also changed the icon in the patched version
to make it more clear which version is used. I will update my web site
soon to tell this. (Maybe I will change to a better one than the one I
am using now, but I do not have time to do that at the moment.)
