Re: gnuplot/wgnuplot launch failure on Windows Server 2008

Thank you for you reply Tait.

Based on your feedback I tested different gnuplot versions (64 bit 
windows installer flavour)  and 4.6.6 seems to be the last one capable 
of running on Server 2008 SP 2.  Version 5.0.1 suffered from the same 
problem as 5.2.6.

I will try 4.6.6 to see if it does what I need.

Regards,

Christian
