Thanks again!
I am interested in this however much of the text in the command prompt is not in English so can't use it as it is. Looking forward to a fully translated version. Also icons are missing.

1.0.5 version is out, with English language
I'm doing the new version i'll upload soon
on this one so far.
Downloaded it, but did not manage to run it properly. The original version does work on my side however.
The exe files do not produce on my side more then the splash. I managed to use the download files to fetch a distro OK.
But when trying to run one of them I came to point it says linux running and then the cmd windows closes by itself, thats it.
so something is missing here.
Using w2k.

Seems none of your icons are working in dev test 2.

I tested my apps on many PC's, and the icons were present, on the tray.
Seriously, I don't understand WTF is.
If someone have an idea, please share
I am using XP SP3.

I am now here on my w2k laptop only, cant get anything to start up properly, I am using the duhowpis version for long time ok.

Autohotkey is a language for every Windows OS, as they say on the website.
the two exi files launcher and downloader run, but it does not seem they do something (just remain in the process list)
The run of the individual bat files (for example the one for the kolibri) will start and run kolibtin in the qemu.
On both systems, w2k and xp the kemu accelerator is present.
The original from duhwopi did work on both so this is just my quick finding so far.
