Thanks to your help, I have mastered almost everything I need from Cumulus.
I have one more question left. I read that you can install two CumulusMX on one computer. Can this be done on Windows 7 and if so, how do I change the port to something other than 8998 for the second installation.

Good point. Maybe the logic behind the second instance detection should check the port is the same too.

Windows uses a system wide mutex so no way of doing it with that. As Linux uses a lock file, that could use the port.
It would need Windows to switch using a lock file too.
A todo item.
