AfterGlow not working with Win7

I cannot get this app to work in Windows 7 x64.

I can install the app through Splunk using the SPL file. Also I have GraphViz installed as well. I setup the app neato path through Splunk with: C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.30\bin

When I try to run a simple search like above, I get the following error:

AfterGlow was not able to generate a graph. Please check the neato directory in the AfterGlow Setup.

Any Ideas??

Can you find the AfterGlow.py file in your Splunk directory? It's in your $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/afterglow/appserver/modules/AfterGlow directory.

make sure that line 88: neato = os.path.join(neato_path,"neato") is the following:

neato = os.path.join(neato_path,"neato.exe")

Getting same error here. Windows 7 x64, perl and GraphViz are installed.

I have the same issue on Windows XP. I changed the path to C:\Graphviz2.30\bin thinking that spaces caused issues, but I get the same error. Does Afterglow work on Windows?
