Re: 1.9.1 winxp home

["Olaf Lachowicz" <olaflachowicz () yahoo co uk>]

yup, I changed directories using cd c:\Snort before I ran snort. However, it
looks to me like the snort executable is in c:\Snort\bin. So, now I changed
it to it, and run it again.
Now a new window pops up and says: "snort.exe - Unable to locate component.
This application has failed to start because ntwdblib.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem"

This sounds odd to me, cause the ntwdblib.dll is in the same directory as
snort.exe, which is the bin.
