Item806: NatSkin search in topbar fails under windows

Using the search results in an internal server error:

Is egrep installed? Does $Foswiki::cfg{NatSearch}{EgrepCmd} point to the right location?

Egrep was installed, the Gnu one Svens installer uses. There is a bin/egrep file, while its not an executable. Looking at the storage egrp cmd, it uses bin/grep.exe -E

i could not get this running after all, setting =$Foswiki::cfg{NatSearch}{EgrepCmd} = "c:....bin/egrep" or "c:..."bin/grep.exe-E"

It is a windows-problem only. I will try to reproduce it on my Windows-VM later, when i have time to install the NatSkin

Nice coincidence with Question224: The error is cause by an incorrect shebang. (Incorrect in the windows context.)
