Difficulties launching MinimWatch with MinimServer on Windows 8.1

[DavidHB]

I now have a working combination of MinimServer and MinimWatch on the Windows 8.1 machine.

I remembered that I still had a copy of the MinimWatch 0.8.3 install file. With this, the install was quite normal, and MinimWatch produced a green icon and identified the running instance of MinimServer on my NAS.

For comparison, the 'good' log is

MinimWatch 0.8.3 update 30, Copyright © 2012-2014 Simon Nash. All rights reserved.
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b18)
Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.25-b02, mixed mode)
Platform default charset is windows-1252
Active subnet is 192.168.0.0
Startup complete
MinimServer[ABC-NAS] is running

So the problem seems to be with the 0.8.3a install file. Could the MinimStreamer package have been included or referenced in it by accident?
