  • @mgroves: Does it stop polling after the error or keep going? Are you behind a firewall? Thanks.

Not working on Windows (8x64)

Firstly, it doesn't not install in C:\Program Files (x86)\StackWatcher but the executable is found in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\StackWatcher.exe

Then I wasn't able to set the the user up as it couldn't get the site list

I guess it's suffering from the same sort of error StackApplet is
