Hi Paul,

I had made it past that point.  The message I was seeing was
in a popup, something like "entry point xxxx not found in
kernel.dll", where "xxxx" appeared to be a time-related
function name.  Some googling found that this symbol (sorry I
don't recall the exact name) was only available in win8 and
newer. So I bit the bullet and upgraded to win10 late yesterday,
now the tests execute but there are display brightness issues
making it difficult the results. (At least I can still boot
into Linux on that machine :-))

It would probably help if someone could take a look at my
comments to Alin's remarks in:

   http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2016-June/072338.html

As I mentioned there, I don't see how adding parameters to
suppress stderr/stdout output for  an AT_CHECK invocation can
possibly affect whether a command that is executed after the
AT_CHECK has passed winds up in the ovsdb-server log.

Thanks,

   Lance
