Of course I did restart, since I know that changing just about anything
in Windows without following up with a reboot is likely to produce flaky
results. Experience gained from god knows how many win2k and winxp
desktop machine rebuilds...
I'll be trying 2.0.1 on one of my spare win2k machines... they never had
gnope or GIMP (another possible source of gtk runtime in path), though
both have php-gtk 2.0 beta. I'll just replace the 2.0 beta with the 2.0.1
and see what happens and let you know. Might be a few days before I get
back. I need gd2, mbstring, and mysqli so I might run into some issues.
Cheers,
