Ok, couple of things, you should unzip the file you download into a
directory other than c:\euphoria\ then run install.bat to install it
to the c:\euphoria\, this could be the problem...

Also, try typing the following at the dos prompt:

echo %eudir%

It should print:

c:\euphoria

Then type:

path

It should print a list of paths separated by semi-colons, something
like this:

PATH=C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\System32\Wbem;C:\euphoria\bin;C:\PROGRA
~1\Distinct;C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\DISTIN~1;C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\Office;C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools\WinNT;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Vis
ual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\To
ols;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin

Make sure it contains c:\euphoria\bin

If it still don't work then let us know, I'm sure we'll find out
what's wrong eventually :)
