PATH=? ADA_INCLUDE_PATH=? What's in the registry under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ada Core Technologies]? ...? If I make manually similar configuration entries as you got when installing in c:\opt then I should be safe. (?) I succeeded to get GNAT working with help from Adrien :), but I am curious about how my entries is compared to for instance the result of an installation to c:\opt, which is not the default (C:\GNAT). I don't want to change the installation on the XP hardisk (see previous postings). I just want to make necessary configurations on the win 2003 hardisk to be able to use the existing GNAT installation when the computer is booted as a win 2003 installation. The 2003 installation is only used for a .NET course and is likely to be deleted when the training is over (I prefer AWS over .NET :)). Anders
