[ANNOUNCE] Cordova on Windows 7
Hello,
I'm a software engineer working at Intel.
For the past few months I have been writing a program that enables running Cordova applications
on Windows 7. I was recently joined by Regis Merlino, who completely reworked the native <-> js
interface (plus a few others things) so we can reuse much of the shared Cordova JS code.
We feel that now is a good time to publish a first release, even though it's still incomplete and
untested, in order to show what we are doing and solicit feedback.
Hope you find it interesting: https://github.com/otcshare/cordova-win7
Cheers,

Hi Anis,
I finally encountered the error that you reported. In my case it happens because the program tries to navigate to an index.html file that does not exist on disk. I'll see if I can catch this (and other exception cases) and have the program fail gracefully.
Regards,

Since I only used IE once to download Chrome, I can't tell you if
there is an access restriction or anything. I am not very used to IE.
I have never used an antivirus either ;-)

So, the version check does seem to work reliably.
There may be something else at play here, perhaps a CR-LF conversion issue when acquiring the sources. Try cloning the repo in command line:
git clone https://github.com/otcshare/cordova-win7
Aside from that, there may be an issue with the configuration of the browser (access restrictions?) or with third party programs (antivirus?).

My guess is that you have not installed IE 9 *and* my IE version check is failing...

That's great guys!
I tried it out. It compiles OK but I am getting this message when I run it.

The code requires IE9+, so that is fine, same as WP7
I am surprised that this is essentially a Win32 based version with very
limited dependencies.

I guess we have to start testing cordova.js on desktop IE7 now eh ;)
Awesome work though!

We will need to complete the implementation: things such as storage are not currently supported, the photo capture only captures a pic at a time, and a healthy dose of bug fixing is to be expected (e.g. the duration of recorded videos is not correct).
But yes, it would be great to have this hosted by the Apache infrastructure within a few months.

Hi all -
I just updated https://github.com/otcshare/cordova-win7
Régis added support for storage, file and file transfer APIs, and I worked on error handling and video recording.
Cheers,

Wow, awesome news --- what are you guys thinking for next steps? Do
you want to get this into the Apache repos?
