Re: At my wit's end - For some reason abiword.exe will not execute via command line called via PHP4.4/IIS 7/ Windows Server 2008

Hi Hersam,

I'm forwarding your problem to the abiword development list. Sorry I'm
a linux guy so I have idea what is going wrong here. I know that
abiword is used in server mode routinely on linux systems in mission
critical applications. For example our website, http://abicollab.net
has long-running abiword processes for much of it's functionality.

Hopefully someone on the abiword-devel list can help you with your
abiword on windows server problem.

Best regards,

Martin
