Finally I have come that 1) my VirtualBox - win7_x64 -- even not loads slave when I click button install save in browser. 2) normal win7_x64 computer, did install files, connect IF and WHILE runs Java Agent, but as only I choose File -> Install as service, agent closes and node is shows as off line. in log file I see constant attempts and failures on load slave file. So this is exactly not XP only problem. * I have try reinstall latest stable, not helps. * then I reinstall latest build1.531 -- same picture.
