Great. Good to hear.

Debugging on Windows is unfortunately quite painful because of Ice's
handling of standard out/err. There are instructions for viewing
issues in the Event Viewer here:

  http://lists.openmicroscopy.org.uk/pipermail/ome-users/2009-May/001769.html

But before doing that, I'd highly recommed you downgrade to Ice 3.3.1
which is the currently supported version. Ice 3.4 has definitely *not*
been tested on Windows for use with OMERO.

Sorry for the inconvience.
~Josh.
