Hi Jean,
As already explained in the bug
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=386998, R4E is storing the review information on a file shared amongst the reviewer and we need to set the file permission
for those review files. Window XP is using a method “calcls” to set permission and R4E is using “icacls” which is a newer method and works better with newer operating system.
Next fall, R4E is moving to use the git server to store the review meta data. Since this is a server, there will not be any file permission being set any longer. So if you are using “git” as a configuration manager, it will
probably be fine even under Window XP version.
Best Regards,
Jacques

Subject: [mylyn-reviews-dev] Fwd: Workaround for #386998
Hi,
First, I apologize if this is not the proper ml to post this request to, I have not found a reference to a user ml (and
mylyn-reviews-users@xxxxxxxxxxx does not work).
I am wondering if there might be a workaround to render r4e usable on windows XP..
I have no choice ATM to use something else, does it mean it is a no go to test the features ?
Jean
