Re: New installation on Windows 11

Hi Hayim,

I don't have any experience using eXist on Windows (at least since ~2008),
but hopefully other folks here may. You might also try asking in the eXist
community Slack, if you haven't already. I think the Slack is more active
than the mailing list these days.

(For anyone who's not already joined, see the invitation link in the eXist
GitHub repository's README under Resources:
https://github.com/eXist-db/exist#resources.)
