You need to edit the /etc/BBWin.cfg file and then start the service manually the first time.  I suggest using http://sourceforge.net/projects/bbwingui/?source=dlp for easy config edits.

Hi,

I just downloaded bbwin from http://sourceforge.net/projects/bbwin/files/bbwin/0.13/ <http://sourceforge.net/projects/bbwin/files/bbwin/0.13/>; to install it on my Windows 2008 64 bit server -- it is my DNS server.

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.

BBWin -install          to install the service
BBWin -remove           to remove the service
BBWin -debug <params>   to run as a console app for debugging

This may take several seconds.  Please wait.

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.
