Dear all,
I've just compiled version 1.16 (15th of September 2009) of Win32-OpenACS: an actual native Win32 port (no Cygwin, no VMware) of OpenACS.
This version is a major release at technical and commercial level.
Technically the version contains:
1. aolserver-4.5.1 – including
1.1. nssha1 1.1.1.1
1.2. nspostgres 4.1
1.3. nsoracle 2.8a1
2. tcl-8.5.7
3. tk-8.5.7
4. tDom-0.8.2
5. xotcl-1.6.3
6. thread-2.6.5
7. tcllib-1.11.1
8. postgresql-8.2.11-1
9. openssl-0.9.8.k
10. openacs-5.5.1
11. xowiki-0.112
12. dotlrn-2.5.0b
13. External binaries:
a. wget – http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm
b. convert, cp, cvs, diff, ftp, gzip, iconv, ln, ls, mkdir, mv, pdftk, ps, rm, rmdir, sh, shutdown, tar – http://www.cygwin.com
c. htmldoc – http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/
d. trml2pdf – http://sourceforge.net/projects/kraft/
The port installs and works on the following Windows Platoforms: XP, Vista, 7, Server 2003 and Server 2008.
For each one of these platforms the port works on both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions.
The port can be obtained at the following URL:

Commercial Aspects
Now the ports comes in two versions:
1. Win32-OpenACS-Light: this version is completely free but:
a. it is limited (MaxThreads = 5; MinThreads = 0) and these limits are hardwired in the code;
b. no support is offered for this version.
2. Win32-OpenACS: this version has no limits hardwired in the code, it is supported but it costs 70 €.
In both cases the source code as well as the building instructions are available.
Win32-OpenACS-Light is immediately available on the website.
Win32-OpenACS will be available as soon as the e-commerce machinery is up an running.
