How to run vimtutor on windows?

Question

I'm running vim on Windows 7. It works, but when I type vimtutor on the command line, a window opens and closes immediately, and nothing else happens.

Is there a way to run vimtutor with Vim for Windows?

Answer 1

Run gVim from the Start Menu, then File->Open

C:\Program Files\Vim\vim73\tutor\tutor

(may be different with another version or install location, it doesn't have a file extension). Save a copy of the file to My Documents using the menu.

The vimtutor command is a merely a shortcut command to do this, as well as automatically showing the correct translations if necessary. You don't need it.
