[Qemu-devel] Is it possible run qemu on windows nt ?

[WarownyR]

Hi

I downloaded qemu from internet (the .exe binary) and try to run it on
windows nt. but it fails to start. It just exits silently and nothing
happens. This is polish version of windows nt workstation with service pack
6. I tried different versions of qemu from 0.7.0 to 0.7.2 but with the same
resoult. Here are the commands I run, and it's output:

qemu freedos.dsk
echo %ERRORLEVEL%
0

Is it possible to run qemu on windows nt ?

Hi Radek,

Perhaps someone knows better, but have you tried "qemu -L . freedos.dsk" or 
"qemu -L bios freedos.dsk" from within the QEMU installation directory (and, 
of course, adjusting the path to "freedos.dsk" appropriately in that case)?

Hope that helps,
Vesko

My guess: you need the -L option to tell qemu where the bios files are.

The reason you see no errors is due to a bad design on the part of qemu for
windows: it doesn't write the errors onto a console window. There are ways to
correct for this, though.
