There's a new windows beacon distribution. It's here: http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~judson/common-1.1.win32-py2.3.exe
This operates a bit differently, here are the details. This beacon install will put a Program Files->RTPBeacon menu item. Under it are the following entries: 1. Install Beacon Service (AutoStart) 2. Manually Start Beacon Service 3. Manually Stop Beacon Service 4. Remove Beacon Service Once this is installed, just go and pick #1, then go and pick #2. The beacon will fire up and you can go to http://beacon.dast.nlanr.net/ to see if you show up. I've fixed some reporting problems and other things, but most significantly I've made these two changes: - If there's an error with the beacon it now reports to the Application Event log. - The beacon runs as a windows service and can be managed using the standard windows services mgmt tools. --Ivan
