[odb-users] odb 2.5.0 b25 installation on windows

[Marc Michalewicz]

 Hi,

I am following the build2-instructions for 2.5.0; until the install-step
everything works seamlessly but coming to this, I get several errormessages
of which I pasted below the start.

Apart from that it seams that the windows-install documentation was copied
from the linux-installation doc, because there is no "where" command in
windows - probably this is the same reason why the install fails at this
point here  - ?

Can somebody tell what is going wrong and what needs to be done to install
odb on windows correctly ?

Thanks,

Marc
