q installation problem

[orpap]

Installed q under Windows Vista but could not get itstarted. I get the following message:

'c:/q/q.k: The filename,directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

`c:/q/q.k

C:\q\windows\w32>

What could be wrong?

assuming you did a vanilla install to c:\qtry cd'ing there and running q from thereq.exe needs to find q.k when starting upif you aren't able to install to c:\q then set the environmentvariable QHOME to point to the location where q.k can be found2008/5/17 Ajith Prasad :>>>>> Installed q under Windows Vista but could not get it started.

Thanks. Just got it working: had to copy out the files from the
"windows" and "w32" subdirectories into the q directory.

assuming you did a vanilla install to c:\q
try cd'ing there and running q from there
q.exe needs to find q.k when starting up
if you aren't able to install to c:\q then set the environment
variable QHOME to point to the location where q.k can be found
