Right...KNOW this is hardly going to be priority one (although I can't be alone in using WAMP on Windows for building and testing purposes) but I only raise this now because it USED to work. Last time I grabbed the master (a week or so ago) from Github, this ran absolutely fine!

I've tried hunting round to see what's changed in the last week or so to cause this, but no joy. The key functions, methods and variables look the same to me! I've tracked the problem down to failing to read the core starting point packages directory and failing to find the necessary controllers for 'blank' and 'composer_blog' -- although the files definitely exists when I follow the file path in Windows. 'startingPointPackage' in the loader library returns blanks to the array (because the is_dir() is failing) and, consequently, the getAvailableList() in starting_point package returns null, etc, etc.... Gives us the error you see here:

My guess is perhaps that the DIR_STARTING_POINT_PACKAGES_CORE is returning something unexpected? That said, I can't see how this has changed ( set via DIR_BASE_CORE I think ) since the previous working version I have in WAMP (which i've just successfully done a fresh re-install of just to test), so not sure. Basically, beyond me to get to the bottom of this, but would be kindof nice if this worked again!
