Welcome,

To run ADIOS within Windows

1) Method one click on qemu-win-adios.bat and it should start

   The easiest way is to first install Kqemu (execute the Kqemu
   installer from the \networking\qemu directory) then use 
   Explorer (Internet Explorer) to find the \qemu directory 
   Qemu is already installed on the DVD in the \qemu directory,
   then click on the qemu-win-adios.bat file to start ADIOS. 
   Read the README-first.txt file for more info on the files.

2) Method two install Qemu software to your system

   . install Qemu say to \Program Files 
   . install Kqemu for performance
   . then copy qemu-win-adios.bat to \Program Files\Qemu
   . edit and run qemu-win-adios.bat

   To run ADIOS within Windows first install the Kqemu and Qemu 
   software, then copy the qemu-win-adios.bat file into the Qemu 
   folder.  Edit this file to reflect your drive for the CD/DVD.
   Modify the -L option to use the pc-bios folder "-L pc-bios".
   Click on the batch file, the ISO image will start in a Window.

   If you want networking install OpenVPN software and select
   TAP-Win32 Adapter v8 to provide Local Area Connection. 
   Edit the qemu-win-adios.bat file for your system.

   To make it run faster copy the ADIOS ISO image to your hard drive
   and edit the batch file for its new location and enable Kqemu. 
   For example copy to drive c: then use -cdrom c:\adiosdvd-7.7.iso
   in the qemu-win-adios.bat file.

3) Method three use Qemu Manager

   Users who have used software such as VMware may prefer to 
   install and use Qemu Manager, just run "setupqemuk40.exe"
   then configure for boot CD/DVD.
