[ptt-users] How to install TestMaker on Windows 2000

[Michael Collins]

Just an FYI:
 
I tried to install TestMaker on Windows 2000.  No entry was made in the Start - Programs list, so I read here to just run TestMaker.bat.
 
When I tried to run TestMaker.bat, it didn't seem to do anything (just flashed and went away).  So I opened a command window (Start - Run - cmd.exe) to see what the error message was.  I ran TestMaker.bat again, and saw that the error message was “The input line is too long”.
 
Googling on that message, I found out that Windows 2000 has a maximum batch file line length of 2048 characters.  Windows XP has a max of 8192.
 
So I copied a cmd.exe from WinXP to c:\winnt\system32\ with the name cmd_XP.exe. So I opened a command window using that file (Start - Run - cmd_XP.exe) and ran TestMaker.bat successfully (well, after I got my JAVA_HOME environment variable set to what it needed to be).
