Hi,

Can you tell me which international locale you are using please.

ML uses named pipes to communicate with the processes that analyse the data, on Windows these must be named `\\.\pipe\PipeName` I can see from your log message that the pipe name does not conform to that convention. If I know the locale I can try to recreate the issue.

Thanks
