 Troubleshooting:
 ================
-For Windows users, If you get errors related to a missing dll when starting the program,then you have to install [Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable](http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5555).
 If you get any unexpected errors from the program, you can discuss that, please post your network configuration and the LOG and CONFIG files, so that we can help you.

 Hope this helps.
