We desupported 8.0.x on Windows quite a long time ago. The oldest PG
release that is considered sufficiently un-buggy on Windows to be
supportable is 8.2.x, and even there x had better be in the double
digits. If Crossbow is really still shipping 8.0.0-rc1 and expecting
people to rely on it, that borders on criminal negligence. Holler at
them to ship something non-obsolete. In the meantime, you might see
if you can install a current release off our website and get MoteView
to work with that.
