    27 Building !VirtualBox on Windows 2000 should work fine except for one or two missing runtime DLLs required by tools or libraries in the !VirtualBox build. It is very likely that these DLLs are already installed on your computer by some other program, so you might not even notice.

    29 Building !VirtualBox on Windows Vista works fine with one exception, kBuild is making use of the Almquist's ash shell which is built using cygwin. As of writing to get cygwin to work properly on Windows Vista, you will need to use a cygwin1.dll dated 2006-11-02 or later. See http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-11/msg00059.html for details and http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ for the dll. Download the dll, unpack it, and copy it to kBuild/bin/x86.win/cygwin1.dll.
