I have downloaded and successfully installed GNAT using the free software from AdaCore on my PC (x86-windows). Using the GPS I created a hello world app, compiled and ran it OK.

When I attempt to run the Win32Ada setup, it asks for a native GNAT compiler (defaults to c:\GNATPRO) so I point it to C:\GNAT\2012\bin (where the path is setup) but it fails.

I have tried this on a Windows 7 & Vista PC with no luck, AdaCore suggested removing and re-installing, but got same result, as free software they give no support. 

Any Ideas ?

Cheers
