Hello,

I have tried to install and run freeswitch under windows and unfortunately was not able to do so.

1. The installation went through smoothly, but once I tried to run freeswicth.exe with DEFAULT configuration I got error message “FreeSwitch has encountered a problem and needs to be closed”. The output of start up process is pasted below:

2. Now I thought that the problem is with native_file and I disabled it in configuration file:

Also I did not find portion of post_load_modules and added an empty tags for it:

</settings>

</configuration>

This eliminated problems with mod_native_file.dll and post_load_modules, but the result was the same: windows error. Here is the output of start up with modified configuration file:
