Emacs 24.3 for windows, Tramp byte-code: Couldn't find a proper `ls' command

Question

24.2 works well, but 24.3 bounded tramp got following error when open remote Linux system files or directories:

\"byte-code: Couldn\'t find a proper `ls\' co         


        

Answer 1

Using eval-expression with (byte-compile-file ..) didn't work for me, but the following did:

1. Open emacs as administrator (right click on emacs button on taskbar, right click on emacs icon in resulting popup, click 'Run as Administrator')
2. Use Alt-X to do the compilation rather than eval-expression: M-x byte-compile-file: c:/Program Files/emacs-24.3/lisp/net/tramp-sh.el
3. Enter tramp-cleanup-all-connections in original emacs window, then try opening your remote file again.
