# Windows OK?

 * I’m running my developments on Windows 8.1 machine with fine installed WAMPP.
   
   Whenever I try to open a po- or pot-file in Loco administration it gives this
   error:
 * > Error: Bad file path <the path>
 * I’m absolutely sure that the paths do exist and Read/Write permissions are granted.
   
   Does it actually run on Win OS? If not so please mention that in the installation
   text.

 * Update:
    The path substring in the error message is constructed like:
 * > W:\\www\\violacase <etc>
 * The use of double backslashes seems to be the problem.

 * The answer is that Windows servers are not supported.
 * Thanks for your suggestion – I’ve added a note in the install instructions and
   also in the FAQs. These notes will go live at the next release.
 * There’s already a feature request open for Windows support:

   As this is a duplicate, I am marking as resolved.
