Common Pitfalls
---------------
- Wrong working directory::
"overviewer.exe" is not recognised as an internal or external
command, operable program, or batch file.
This is a common mistake to make, especially for people unfamiliar
with the command line. This happens if your current working directory
does not contain overviewer.exe. This is likely because you've forgot
to change the working directory to the directory you have unzipped
overviewer into. Re-read Step 4 for instructions on how to do that.
- Overviewer is on a different drive than C:\
You may have Overviewer located on a different partition than C:,
and for some odd reason the windows command line does not accept
"cd D:\" as a way to switch partitions. To do this, you have to just
type the drive letter followed by a colon::
D:
This should switch your current working directory to D:\
