Walking error

I'm using Webinator (free demo) with Apache 1.3 on Win NT 4.0. When I try to do a 'walk', I get the following error:
018 [webinatoradmin=webinatoradmin](dowalk) 871: Can't exec `./d:\apache\cgi-bin\texis.EXE': No such file or directory in the function doexec

Note that I can run the administrator interface, but just can't walk the site

Looks like apache is setting is setting up the CGI environment "interestingly" on NT. Try this...

Edit the "dowalk" script (DOCUMENT_ROOT\webinator\dowalk) with an ASCII editor like notepad. Find the osinfo function (<a name=osinfo). About 9 lines down from there you'll see
<if $ret eq ""><!-- not vhttpd -->
change it to
<if $ret eq "xx"><!-- not vhttpd -->

That should tell it to ignore apache's suggestion.

Thanks for the attempt, but nope. Now I get:

018 [webinatoradmin=webinatoradmin](dowalk) 871: CreateProcess() failed for d:\Webinator/bin/texis: The system cannot find the path specified. in the function vx_popenduplex

More environment wierdness. It's not detecting that it's on NT instead of unix. In the same function (osinfo) there's a line that reads
<vxinfo installdir><$installdir=$ret><!-- where is Texis installed -->
add a line immediately above that that reads
<$isnt=1>
That should cover the bases.
