qemu under windows

Anyone succesfully using qemu under windows to test their os? I tried using both the stable 0.6.0 and the nightly build, and neither seems to work for me.
I'm using
because I create a valie (1.44MB) raw floppy image as part of building the OS. This disk image works fine under bochs, but when i try to launch qemu with the above (or any other parameters whatsoever), nothing happens. It looks like a window pops up for a few milliseconds, and then disappears and the program closes. Any ideas? Thanks.

This seems to be because even the windows build is an ELF executable.
try changing it to this:
This AFAIK is the path to an ELF loader.

no its a proper windows .exe
the -L . tells it where to find the BIOS files and other support files.

Thanks. Adding -L . worked. I wonder why I didn't see that as required in the manual. It had a sample executions line that didn't have that. Anyway, thanks for the help.

The readme that comes with it has an example line with the -L . in it. Also you should have come wit ha batch file.
