Finally, I think I've worked out my last hurdle in being able to compile fully couch from scratch on windows but will need a few more days on a fresh build to confirm this. I will post back and would be keen for some people to test this out. In particular I don't have a fresh 32-bit windows (XP or later) but an Amazon Windows 2003 Server install is probably close enough. cheers Dave
