working?

In common with Keith Finnett, when the executable is run, absolutely
nothing happens.  The app doesn't appear in task manager, or give any
indication that it has done owt.  Running from the command line doesn't
work either, as the app appears to have no command line properties
accessible through /?

I'm running the version downloaded from the wiki, which according to its
properties, is version 1.01 or file version 1.1.0.0 dated 15/12/2004.

I'll try and contact Michael through the homeseer forums to get his take
on this.
