Subject: Ediff error -- Permission denied (Win8)
Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2013 13:30:24 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b463a3b9-a8bd-471a-8c34-adb2cd97f5b3@googlegroups.com> (raw)

It has been years I used Emacs so when I needed to compare 2 text files (they are VBA macros, but I saved them with .txt extension.  I installed emacs (version 24.3.1) and used "Compare (Ediff)" under "Tools" menu.  Then selected "Two files" and I receive 

"Searching for program: permission denied, diff"

I then open the files and tried to compare 2 buffers, but it didn't make any difference.

I have 64-bit Win8 on my PC and emacs' directory is under Users directory, not Program Files. Could this be a problem?  

BTW, I also installed GNU grep, but couldn't manage to run it through command line.  I then tried using grep under Tools of emacs and it didn't work either.

I wish I had Unix running on my machine!

I will appreciate any suggestions.
