This is the error output:
Unable to parse diff header: +++ 
c:\code\xxxx\yyyy.cs Wed May 23 19:30:19 2007

The culprit line of code is
            m = re.search(r'(\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d \d\d:\d\d:\d\d)', dl[1])

Unfortunately i don't know why its failing on my machine only.

Can you e-mail me the output of: post-review --output-diff changenumber?

diff.exe was getting picked up from my vim directory (.  I've fixed this by
reordering my path variable.  Not really your bug.  Have you specified the right
version of diff.exe to use?

C:\code\main>"c:\Program Files\Vim\vim63"\diff -v
diff - GNU diffutils version 2.7

C:\code\main>diff -v
diff (GNU diffutils) 2.8.7
Written by Paul Eggert, Mike Haertel, David Hayes,
Richard Stallman, and Len Tower.

We don't specify the version but anything modern *should* work.

This seems to be a pretty uncommon case, so I'm going to close this out for now.

I just added a minimum version notice to the UserBasics wiki page.
