Hey Jesse, Thanks very much for the detailed post. It seems like you went through a lot to get GWT up and running on your system. I'm happy that it's finally working for you.
We'll review the information that you've provided. If others are running into this problem, it probably makes sense to create a FAQ entry for this problem.
