Re: [Condor-users] Condor 7 on Vista

[Ben Burnett <burnett@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been using jdk1.6.0_03 with no problems under Vista, using 7.1.0.  How
exactly does Condor fail for you under these conditions?  Are there messages
in the Condor logs, or in the job log that might help debug the problem?

Regards,
