Not sure if WIRNS is still being updated, but giving the newest version a try. 3.0 beta.

Install is much better than before. First run of the service (according to the logs), detects 64-bit OS, and swaps out the SqlLite DLLs. Nice.

Still get crash when the service starts. Debug logs say format exception. Apparently it can't figure out our own machine's IP address.

• Add value to REGISTRY to give WIRNS at clue. Info here. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WiRNS\configuration]
  "wirnsip"="192.168.1.200"

We're up and running.

Configuration

• Instead of using "Configuration" from the system tray icon ("severely limits" the configuration functionality), browse directly to the WIRNS service on the local machine. http://10.1.1.11/manage/index

Ready to re-install WIRNS after a machine rebuild, and it has to be on port 80 (Replays only talk on that port). Fine - I move IIS to another port. But, WIRNS installer says it's still in use.

Long story short, it's not IIS (it *was* on 80, but I moved it), lots of peeps on the tubes saying various other processes: SQL Reporting Services was the most popular.

For me, it was Web Deployment Agent Service. MS docs about it here.
Even with IIS running on 80, it's somehow *sharing* that port, and sticks around after IIS has been moved. Telnet localhost 80
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii
Server: Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0
Date: Sun, 14 Aug 2011 21:11:43 GMT
Connection: close
Content-Length: 326

Anyway - I'm not remote deploying anything to this box, so this service is now disabled. Port 80 - free again!

I'm definitely not an iPad fan, but since my kids have one, I have to track a few of these "tips and tricks" pages.
