Ah - makes sense. I did some research, and it looks like the UUIDGEN tool is part of the Microsoft Win32 SDK, which is part of the VS install.

Me too... generating the hex codes is easy; I get lost in the "low bit"/"high bit" stuff of the time stamp. Not sure what that means/how to get it from our current "time" function...
