[ome-users] Omero4.0.3 start error on Windows SP2

[josh.moore at gmx.de]

Hi Javier,

got it!! Sorry for putting you through the paces for what turns out to
be a case of horrible anglo-centrism. There's a check on Windows for
the string: "does not exist", which of course doesn't quite match "no
existe".

For the moment, you can edit line 188 of
lib/python/omero/plugins/admin.py:

188c188
<             if 0 <= output.find("does not exist"):
---
>             if 0 <= output.find("no existe"):

and I'll search for a more sensible way to check the existence of a
service on Windows.


Best wishes,
~Josh
