I just copied IM over from my dead install and it works. The errors for ExifTool were for some other language I do not read so I just installed it by hand. All is well!

When I Upgraded to the newer Strawberry, I did get the portable one. I think one user, one Perl, one GCC keeps things simple. If I need another GCC, I can use another user. But I like U65's idea even better, real Linux on a VM. When I dual boot to OpenSuse, the configure flies off the screen in a blur rather than crawling at umpteen seconds per line like with windoz on the same machine. The build is effortless. I may try a cross compile next time.

The thought of having Real Linux running under windoz is a pipe dream. cyg was never more than a half-fast, pale imitation of Linux that has greatly disappointed me all 4 times I have tried it over the past decade. Once it's X thrashed my window manager and I had to reinstall the os. It always seems to prey on the rest of the system. I wonder if msys2 would be more considerate. When adope finally breaks photoshop with on OTA update to force all users onto their rent-a-cloud, I am going to throw winders out the window once and for all!

Off to setup a VM...
