The most common case for needing an external editor on Windows Server is default Notepad not supporting non-CRLF line endings. Unfortunately licensing would not allow transplanting the insider Notepad.exe to Windows Server, preventing the need for installing external software on the OS.
- ams6110 9y agoI thought wordpad was also part of a standard windows install? It does support the unix style line endings. Or am I misremembering and wordpad was an add-on?
- dEnigma 9y agoDefinitely part of a "normal" Windows install, but I don't know if it's part of Windows Server too.
