Mono 0.28 on Windows 2000

It is disappointing that I have never succeeded in running a 
networked .NET prog using Mono on Windows 2000. We have tested this to 
attempt to provide a chance of cross platform support.

The current problem is that when I attempt to run my mono built progs I 
get the following error:

** Warning **: cannot find "C:\Program Files\Mono-0.28
\etc\mono"\mono\machine.config
Trying to load app config file...
.

I attempted to work around this by setting MONO_CFG_DIR. However, that 
appeared to get stomped on by the next execution. I then tried to copy the 
config stuff down into a second mono dir under etc\mono. That didn't work 
either. I assume that it is the quotes that are breaking the runtime.

In earlier versions these env vars were set in a .bat/.cmd file that one 
could alter to make further attempts at execution. Having done a search 
for them I can only assume that the .exes are calculating these env vars?

It looks like there are not many people using/testing this on a Windows 
2000 platform?

It is indeed a repeat of 50432. The solution in 50432 fixes this 
problem. Sorry - I wasn't aware of files in the Windows directory 
that modified the Mono runtime behaviour.
