When I try to run winn32 I get "winn32" is not recognized. Why?

When I try to run winn32 I get “winn32” is not recognized. Why?

[/al_question]

That means the program is not on what’s called the PATH; the default list of places on your machine windows looks for what you try to run. Check your spelling (I’ve not heard of a “winn32” myself), and if you like, use Search for Files to see if it’s on your machine at all.
