I've placed the entire C:\Program Files (x86)\SABnzbd directory + the sabnzbd.exe itself in the exclusion list. Perhaps it's something in the Python layer that is causing BD to freak out and bloc...

Could this be related to Python? I did try running the command line executable in the SABnzbd directory, and it failed with a message related to Python and sqlite.

I just installed 0.5.0 tonight on a Vista x64 box. The install goes well, no errors seem to pop up. After installing, I click the desktop icon to launch and nothing happens.
