bbwin 0.9 memory.exe missing

Hello,

I just installed bbwin 0.9 from sourceforge. The windows client is
reporting to hobbit, but I
was getting this error in the application log.

Event Type:   Warning
Event Source: BigBrotherHobbitClient
Event Category:       Agent
Event ID:     17

Description:
The agent externals generated this event message :
Failed to launch memory.exe:
The system cannot find the file specified.

So I commented out the memory.exe line in the bbwin.cfg

<externals>
      <setting name="timer" value="3m" />
      <setting name="logstimer" value="60s" />
      <! externals launch examples
      <load value="cscript mybbscript.vbs" />

      <!-- load value="memory.exe" />

      <load value="cscript wlbs.vbs" timer="15m" />
      <load value="cluster.exe" timer="90s" /> -->
</externals>

Now I am getting this error reported.
Event Type:   Warning
Event Source: BigBrotherHobbitClient
Event Category:       Agent
Event ID:     17

Description:
The agent externals generated this event message :
No externals have been specified

Also from c:\Program Files\BBWin\Ext
There is only fsmon.vbs

Any thoughts or comments ??

You have to edit your bbwin.cfg:

Changing the externals section to

<externals>
        <setting name="timer" value="3m" />
        <setting name="logstimer" value="60s" />
        <!-- externals launch examples
        <load value="cscript mybbscript.vbs" />
        <load value="memory.exe" />
        <load value="cscript wlbs.vbs" timer="15m" />
        <load value="cluster.exe" timer="90s" /> -->
 </externals>

will prevent the agent from loading any externals, cause all entries are
commented out...

As I re-read this now, I see that I was not clear in my question.  The
bbwin.cfg file is trying to load an agent called memory.exe, which
does not appear to exist on my system.

- Is this agent call an error?
- Is my config icorrect?
- Is the memory.exe suppose to be included with bbwin_0.9.msi, but
somehow not included in my download?
- What is the purpose of memory.exe?
- Do I need it?
- Where can I get it?

Johann...thanks for the pointer for NOT loading externals.
