The file, continue.exe, did not work in my environment.
error msg:
[+G+] Bringing up Grinder node 'G1' with ruby 1.9.3 (32-bit)...
grinder.rb:161:in 'spaen': Exec format error - .\data\continue.exe(Errno::ENOEXEC)
from grinder.rb:161:in 'run'
from grinder.rb:258:in '(main)'

I install the ruby 1.9 and done all install for grinder node.

same problem here, looks like continue is not a valid win32 app on XP. Anybody got this working on windows XP? What the hell is the purpose of continue.exe anyway?

Just checked on XP and continue.exe is not a valid application on that platform. Probably needs to be built with an older version of MSVC, which I am not going to do.

@AM06 continue.exe runs a loop that looks for common dialogs and hits the close button so the fuzzer can keep running. See the source here:
