Hi Jan,

There were some postings on the bulletin board about this in the latter half of August last year. I also recall problems with the parallel version of XDS but I think this was fixed by Microsoft in a patch that I believe is included in the recent Creators update to Windows 10. Can't verify this right now as the XDS download site appears to be offline. But will do so when I get home.

Dear XDS users,

I haven't read anything about this here, but probably I missed it:

With the relatively new "Windows Subsystem for Linux" you can "natively" (i.e. without an virtual machine) run XDS on Windows 10.

In theory it should have a similar performance than on a native Linux System. However, currently I wasn't able to get the parrallised version (xds_par) to work - which negates the potential speed advantage over an virtual machine.

In principle XDS-GUI is also working with some tricks... but it is a little bit buggy...

I haven't tested other suites yet nor carefully checked the output, so be carefull.

With kind regards,

Jan
