+Mono 0.28 on Windows 2000
+
+It is disappointing that I have never succeeded in running a 
+networked .NET prog using Mono on Windows 2000. We have tested this to 
+attempt to provide a chance of cross platform support.
+
+The current problem is that when I attempt to run my mono built progs I 
+get the following error:
+
+** Warning **: cannot find "C:\Program Files\Mono-0.28
+\etc\mono"\mono\machine.config
+Trying to load app config file...
+.
+
+I attempted to work around this by setting MONO_CFG_DIR. However, that 
+appeared to get stomped on by the next execution. I then tried to copy the 
+config stuff down into a second mono dir under etc\mono. That didn't work 
+either. I assume that it is the quotes that are breaking the runtime.
+
+In earlier versions these env vars were set in a .bat/.cmd file that one 
+could alter to make further attempts at execution. Having done a search 
+for them I can only assume that the .exes are calculating these env vars?
+
+It looks like there are not many people using/testing this on a Windows 
+2000 platform?

+It is indeed a repeat of 50432. The solution in 50432 fixes this 
+problem. Sorry - I wasn't aware of files in the Windows directory 
+that modified the Mono runtime behaviour.
