Windows 2000 batch error

I recently aquired an old server from a friend. Problem is, it can't run any windows newer than 2000.
Didn't think thet it would be a problem, so I copied the standalone core server files from the windows binairies,
changed a few config files for network access and ran shard_start.bat.

For some reason I get the message "file not fount" for each of the services.
When I map the drive on my laptop (windows 7) and run the same .bat file, all services start.
So it's not actually e Ryzom problem, more a problem with windows.

Is there a solution for this problem, other than getting a newer server with windows 7, or running Linux...
(Linux could be an option if there's a ready built server for ubuntu 11.04... )

OS: Windows 2000 pro, SP4
system : Dell PowerEdge 1600SC with 4 GB reg ecc ram and 2 2.4 GHz xeon CPU's

I will test it on Windows 2000 as soon as possible.
You could build the server on Ubuntu 8.04.

there's no rush as far as I'm concerned...
When I start the services manually it works just fine... Just the batch seems to be a problem.

I can build it on ubuntu 11.04 aswell, without errors... but I can't get it running just yet.
Wanted to try the pre built version so I can setup my network, and my friends can get started on
building a world.

Anyway thnx for the quick reply :D

When I run into problems on Ubuntu, I'll check those forums again...

To solve the batch issue, edit shard_start.bat and replace:
cd ./ryzom/server
with:
cd ryzom\server

I didn't think about Windows 2000 when i wrote it :).
I will update the batch in my next package.

In shard_stop, i'm using "taskkill" which doesn't exist for Windows 2000.
But you can replace it with "kill" from:
Windows 2000 Resource Kit tools
or the task manager :).
