I'm running slimserver 6.3.1 on a well established Windows XP box that has all the available microsoft patches and sp2. At initial instalation I got an error message about perl paths, I realise this is similar to another bug (2567).

Nothing worked so I reinstalled over the top of the first install and got no error this time.

Now the service simply stops when it feels like it. I'll endevour to find a reason for it stopping but nothing is coming to mind. I've been using slimp server on a win2k box for several years without any major pains. The application error message is reproduced below:
