[Swift-user] Swift 0.95 RC6 on Windows

[Mihael Hategan]

Hi Jonathan,

We need to update the quick start guide. There is a missing bit if you
are running on Windows. The details are here:
http://swift-lang.org/guides/release-0.94/userguide/userguide.html#_running_on_windows

That said, I don't think we routinely test swift on Windows, and I
haven't maintained it, but I will give it a shot and see if it needs any
fixes.

Trying the quickstart guide http://swift-lang.org/guides/quickstart.html and the hello.swift script under examples/swift/misc/ they see the following error:
