More lisp

I installed LISPBUILDER-SDL as my main development environment (with SLIME on linux). I set the development lisp to SBCL, mainly to use asdf-install, which installs lispbuilder.

Vista wireless drops on switch user

If I "switch user", the wireless disconnects. This is really annoying because it means that if I switch to Admin user to install something (e.g. Microsoft MSVC express which is distributed through network install and requires Admin login). So, how do I fix it?

Maybe, can't test it because I'm still installing...

Cmake + mingw

Cmake fails creating mingw targets. Here is how I got it to work:

1) Set path:

C:\gcs6\build\gpuit-mingw>PATH=c:\mingw\bin;c:\msys\1.0\bin;c:\mingw\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2;%PATH%

2) Run cmake

C:>"\Program Files\CMake 2.6\bin\CMakeSetup.exe"

3) Run make

C:>\MinGW\bin\mingw32-make.exe

Vista...yet again

I'm trying to figure out if cmake can be run under a standard user without resorting to "Run as administrator." Unfortunately I made a tactical error. As part of my testing I uninstalled MSVC Express. Since MSVC is distributed through a web install, to reinstall I had to re-download the components. This seems to fail (both MSVCE 2005 and MSVCE 2008) when logged in as standard user, even when running setup using "run as administrator" (RAA).

Just to backtrack, a word about cmake. According to Luis, you don't have to use RAA if you are a standard user. However, I tried this, and it doesn't work (Cmake 2.6, MSVCE 2005).

Now, it seems that I can't install MSVC Express 2008 (or 2005) as standard user. Even when I use RAA on the setup program, the setup fails. Setup hangs on the prompt "Re-establishing connection with the server".

Now, I googled around, and found this interesting post. However it doesn't fix the problem.

I will note also that Microsoft has a page for MSVC 2005. This page is interesting, as it recommends using RAA to run the program. Nothing
