For the next major version, we are planning to move the Win32 files to the same scheme as the Win64 (i.e. Program Files\Bacula). That might help a lot, but there is still the issue about menu items.

That is not too good. I don't think there was much change in bwxconsole, so I am not sure what is going on. In any case, we have deprecated it in favor of bat -- however, we still have a good deal of work to do making bat work on Win32 in production quality. > The backups themselves appear to be working just fine.

Note for the list: as far as I know there is no serious bug in the Exchange plugin, but as is always the case for first release, there are things to do ...
