For the plugin itself, if you turn logging on via SC Settings->Advanced->Logging->SrvrPowerCtrl->debug, the plugin posts messages to SC's server.log. You can see the log via web interface using the links at SC Settings->Information->Squeeze Center Log File. On linux systems, that link shows the location of the log file on disk. Presumably, it will on a Vista box too. SCPowerTool.exe, by default, posts it's log to SCPowerTool.log which will be located in the same directory as the exe. I'm not sure if Vista will interfere with that if SCPowerTool.exe is located in a protected directory. I also included a "--log=logfilepath.log" option. Using that, you ought to be able to put SCPowerTools' log anywhere you like. One caveat: SC's prefs system doesn't seem to support storing string data with quotes in it. So, the path to the log file either can't contain any spaces or you need to use the short path, e.g.: --log=C:\temp\DIRONE~1\DIRTWO~1\SCPOWE~1.LOG instead of "--log=C:\temp\Dir one\Dir two\SCPowerTool.log" I haven't tried to compile and link a 64b version of the exe. Do you think a 64b version of SCPowerTool.exe would make the difference here? I do have a copy of Vista 64 business installed on one of my machines. But it's been well over a year since I booted from that partition and I'm very fearful of the nasty things it's likely to say to me for having ignored it for so long. Eventually, I imagine that the DSM will contain a specific diagnostic term to describe "fear of an operating system." OSophobia? If you manage to sort this out, (if, e.g. you need to make changes to local group policies or something) please post your findings here and I'll incorporate them into the readme.
