Erm are you trying to run an eggdrop on windows?

If you are then it wont work. try using a windrop. its an eggdrop for the windows platform. :wink:

They are one and the same thing.

Windrop is eggdrop simply compiled on the windows platform.

It isn't supported because it isn't its native platform, windows instability, Tcl and windows quirks and other various annoyances.

Both of you should see http://windrop.sf.net/

They have information on how to compile eggdrop on the windows platform.
