Difficulties launching MinimWatch with MinimServer on Windows 8.1

I remembered that I still had a copy of the MinimWatch 0.8.3 install file. With this, the install was quite normal, and MinimWatch produced a green icon and identified the running instance of MinimServer on my NAS.

For comparison, the 'good' log is

MinimWatch 0.8.3 update 30, Copyright © 2012-2014 Simon Nash. All rights reserved.
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b18)
Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.25-b02, mixed mode)
Platform default charset is windows-1252
Active subnet is 192.168.0.0
Startup complete
MinimServer[ABC-NAS] is running

So the problem seems to be with the 0.8.3a install file. Could the MinimStreamer package have been included or referenced in it by accident?

Thanks for reporting this problem. It is now fixed in the 0.8.3b Windows download for MinimWatch.

In 0.8.3a, MinimWatch was looking at the directory

C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\MinimServer\libext

for installed extensions. The correct directory is

C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\MinimWatch\libext

Because of this incorrect directory, the installations of MinimServer and MinimWatch on the same machine were conflicting with each other.
