<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black">Hi,
<br>
<br>
I just downloaded bbwin from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/bbwin/files/bbwin/0.13/" target="_blank">
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bbwin/files/bbwin/0.13/</a> to install it on my Windows 2008 64 bit server -- it is my DNS server.<br>
<br>
After the installation, it didn't add bbwin to 'All Programs' so I browsed the directory tree to c:\Program Files (86)\BBwin\bin and I saw a two green executables: one called 'bbwin' and the other called 'bbwincmd', so I clicked on 'bbwin', and I got.<br>
<br>
BBWin is a free Big Brother and Xymon client for Windows.<br>
This software is under GPL license. Please read the license file.<br>
<br>
BBWin -install to install the service<br>
BBWin -remove to remove the service<br>
BBWin -debug <params> to run as a console app for debugging<br>
<br>
StartServiceCtrlDispatcher being called.<br>
This may take several seconds. Please wait.<br>
<br>
Then the screen goes away. And in 'task manager' I don't see the process running. I have heard that other people has gotten this version to work on 2008 64bit. Please help, thanks.<br>
<br>
