I tried in a virtual box with winXP. Now, I better understand Bobs problem. 
On the first call of the application, I got a dialog that asked which 
application to use for "ListLibraryContents.sh". The windows noob in me 
guessed, that this is supposed to be the pcb binary. So I happily navigated 
to the snapshot dir and selected pcb. This was a terrible mistake.
 
Whenever I try to start PCB, it enters a loop and literally spawns more
and more copies of PCB until all memory is used. These opies are not easy 
to kill, because they don't react fast enough. WinXP insists to ask wether
it should sende a report to microoft for every single kill...

Unfortunately, a remove and reinstall does not remove this problem. The 
faulty setting must resides somewhere in the windows configs. How I can
get rid of them? And what should be the correct setting in the first place?

Anyway, after I clicked through the kill of 66 of the 67 copies, I got
a responding PCB application. A sample layout did load fine. Zoom still
does not work -- Not with the mouse and not with zZ. pan is ok, though. 
My keyboard is German. The locale of the windows binary is "DE".
