Hi Emacsens,
for some reason, ediff does not work for me on Windows. It just finds no differences. If I hit D to see the diff output, it displays a blank buffer.
The same configuration on OSX works just fine. If I run diff from eshell, it shows the differences.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It works for me. Sorry for asking the obvious, but do you have
diff.exe installed and on PATH? If you do, please tell what version
of Emacs is that, and where did you get the ported diff.exe.

Actually, I'd expect ediff to use `exec-path' to find the
`diff' executable, so please check exec-path as well.
