hi,
I installed Emacs 24.4 on Windows 7.
Everything works, except some of my links in orgmode. They worked under Emacs
24.3, and they work with Emacs 24.4 under Linux.
The non-working links have a certain structure: I'm using shorcuts. I have a
file "AW-org-file.el", containing lines like:
(setq org-link-abbrev-alist
'(name . "//SBS2011/path/to/folder/%s"))
This file "AW-org-file.el" is required in my .emacs
The links in the org-files look like this:
[[name:filename]]
or
[[name:./path/down/the/folder/filename.pdf]]
With cursor on the link I do "C-c C-o" and get:
"ShellExecute failed: Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden."
(my translation: the system can not find the file).
I'd be thankful for a helping hand,
Alexander

It should be
(setq org-link-abbrev-alist '(("name" . "//SBS2011/path/to/folder/%s")))

Use
M-: (org-element-property :path (org-element-context))
with point on each of them. Is the path a valid (according to Windows)
file name?

Hello,
yes, I did that and the path is valid, it becomes, well, say, "expanded".
Except that it contains slashes ( "/" ) instead of backslashes, it is exactly
what I expected. And to be clear: the same link works with Emacs 24.3 under
Windows 7 as well as under Linux and Emacs 24.4.
Thank you for your much appreciated help!
Regards,
Alexander

As this does not seem to be an orgmode, but an emacs on windows issue, I'll
ask on the emacs list, so beware: crossposting.
