It's hard to guess without seeing the errors. Since I have to guess I
might guess that you want to use full paths for both the SNFServer.exe
and the snf_engine.xml file. You will also want to check that
SNFServer will run with full permissions on it's working directories
(as configured) and that it has at least read, write, delete, create
permissions in the directory where it will look for messages.

I also suggest running SNFServer first from the command line so that
you can see that it works and gain confidence in the settings.

SNF is pretty good about producing errors in logs etc that are useful
and meaningful. If you look closely it should tell you just where to
look for any problems.

Please shut it down cleanly using the client (SNFClient.exe -shutdown)
to avoid creating any "messes". SNF is pretty good about taking care
of unexpected shutdowns etc, but it's always best to give it a smooth
shutdown rather than yanking it out by the roots unannounced.

Hope this helps,

_M
