Hi Arthur,

Thanks for the response.  Don't know why I didn't think of trying the plain 
binaries instead of extracting from the msi.  However, the interesting thing 
is that I took the extracted files, copied them all into the same directory 
and tried to run it there, and it still failed.  Will try again tomorrow in 
case I missed something, but am very much confused as to why it wouldn't 
work and/or how a functional WM "finds" the appropriate dll's if they aren't 
registered anywhere or in the path.

I had installed the client on a test machine using the msi and tried to 
figure out how it finds the dlls, but can't find it anywhere.  They don't 
seem to be registered, and definitely not directly in the path, however WM 
runs.  If, however, I copy the same folder structure to another machine, it 
doesn't launch.  I figured there has to be some magic hidden somewhere in 
the msi that I am not seeing....

Thanks,

Eric
