[Oberon] Oberon for a C++ user.

[Chris Burrows]

Wojtek,

I've got V4.0-2.3 of LinzV4 running on my 64-bit Windows 10 system. The date
of the setup.exe file is 18/12/1998 which corresponds to the date in the ftp
URL that you supplied. Have a look in the README.TXT file that you can
download separately. It has a few tips on how to debug installation
problems.

Chris.
