Walt, I looked up stderr for this user. It looks like the core client is exiting before starting the app, or right after starting the app. There is no message from the APP, and I have no idea what this error code means. Any ideas what dll might be missing?

Thank you, Walter. I and the other developers are basically good unix programers and know very little about Windows. So your Win32 technical expertise here is *very* welcome.
