[ome-users] Installation under Windows server 2008

Well that is a weird one: i tried again, this time I removed the OMERO 
folder entirely and created it again, and it worked... I don't see why 
it would not work before (as I should have given all right to everyone) 
or why OMERO diagnostics would not detect the problem, but anyway...

Last question (before the next...): are there plans to support omero.fs 
on windows server 2008/vista at some point in the future?

Thanks a lot for the help,

A

At the same time, could you possibly send the output of "bin\omero config get" or the file etc\grid\config.xml itself, after removing any sensitive passwords? The contents of E:\\OMERO certainly look correct, but somewhere something's going oddly wrong.

I managed to get pass that by running the prompt as administrator (right-click->run as administrator) (which seems to be different from running it from an administrator account, more like a sudo I guess). If somebody have a better solution, it might be what cause the errors below...

Last question, it seems omero.fs is not running (W. server 2008 is recognized as Vista, which does not support that feature); are there any plan for that? I guess I certainly would not be against (to say the least) running a linux server, but I may have to stick to windows for this one...
