I never managed to get further, although I haven't tried again since that last thread. If you are interested, you could try running gdb and consulting the thread (look at the last couple of messages) to see if it's crashing at the same place. Regardless of where it is crashing, it is probably because some Linux functionality is still missing. If you're using the most up-to-date version of WSL, then there's not much you can do without delving into the details of WSL. I don't think anyone on the developers list (including myself) knows enough about WSL to do this.<br> </div> <div><br> </div> <div>The only reliable way I know of running ACE on Windows is to use a VirtualBox.<br> </div> </div> <br> <div class="m_-3643859841655240698x_gmail_quote"> <div dir="ltr">Am So., 19.
