I installed Hiawatha (on 64bit Win7) in directory:

D:\servers\hiawatha\

At first I changed the paths in Hiawatha.bat to the path above und then double clicked on the *Hiawatha.bat" file.

Unfortunately the appearing cmdprompt shows an error:

/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Hiawatha/config: No such file or directory

Hmm, where do I change/set the new path to the config file?

Could Hiawatha not implemented in a directory independent, portable way so that the config file is always searched in the
folder (pay attention to the double (=back) dots "..") beginning from the bat directory:

../config/

Thank you

That's not supported at this moment. It is possible, but to do so you need to install Cygwin and compile Hiawatha yourself. You can use the extra/make_windows_package as a start.

Hmm, thats a big disadvantage.

When will this feature be available?

99,9%% of all software installations allow such a user definable installation directory.
It should be easy to implement

I'll see what I can do.

It is already possible. Just follow these steps:

• Copy the ZIP content to a suitable location.
  
• Edit the properties of the 'Hiawatha webserver' shortcut and fix the path.
  
• Edit 'bin/Hiawatha.bat' and add the -c option followed by the correct directory to the wigwam.exe and hiawatha.exe call. If you get warnings about the used pathnames, use /cygdrive/c instead of C:\, /cygdrive/d instead of D:\ and so on. Also use the slash instead of the backslash in the rest of the path. So, /cygdrive/d/Hiawatha instead of D:\Hiawatha.
  
• Edit conf/hiawatha.conf and fix the pathnames. Add the ExploitLogfile and PIDfile option if not present and set the correct filename.
