No, I did not, I merely downloaded the msi.

Yes, no kidding, but I am not trying to make it one neither...

My windows machine exists on a DMZ which has no access to my xymon server.  My xymon server however has access to the DMZ located windows client.  I wish to have the windows DMZ client collect its own data and hold it for the Xymon server, which in turn will get it with a datafetch. My restrictions are based on rules from our security team and are not negotiable.  I do not wish to create a VM running the Xymon server, although doing that will require the bb-proxy, which I assume is what you were referring to as proxy?
