[hobbit] BBWin 0.5 available

[Jeff Ehrenberg]

I have not been able to successfully start the BBwin service on WIndows 2000
Server SP4.  It worked on my XP machine and I tried the same settings on
2000 but it just won't start.  I tried verbose logging (4) but it does not
show much.
My event log shows the following:
Event Type:    Warning
Event Source:    BigBrotherHobbitClient
Event Category:    Service
Event ID:    5
Date:        4/7/2006
Time:        12:41:51 PM
User:        N/A
Computer:    XXXX
Description:
The configuration file bbwin.cfg in namespace bbwin has an unknown setting :
logreportfailure

Event Type:    Error
Event Source:    Service Control Manager
Event Category:    None
Event ID:    7031
Date:        4/7/2006
Time:        12:45:53 PM
User:        N/A
Computer:    XXXX
Description:
The Big Brother Hobbit Client service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done
this 4 time(s).  The following corrective action will be taken in 0
milliseconds: No action.

I tried to remove the logreportfailure setting, but it makes no difference.

any help is appreciated.
