I can understand and sympathize with your frustration, but the reality is that you are missing something very drastically basic if you're saying that you can't even get Subsonic running on the local host. In all honesty, that's almost impossible to do unless you don't have Java installed prior to running the Windows Subsonic installer.
I have so many instances of Subsonic running on my network that I can assure you it runs very well on almost any Windows environment from Win XP to Server 2012 even when installed on VM's.
If you have actually done a clean install of the latest Java and Subsonic and you can't even open the local instance, then your OS is severely corrupted and meeds to be reinstalled.
Setting up external web access, getting port forwarding set properly, and getting all the other nuances just right can be a challeng, but just getting a local instance running is not difficult.
Please understand that I and others are happy to assist anyone who wants to get SS up and running, but when you only claim that SS doesn't work properly, without responding in a staightforward way that you've made any attempt to follow the advice already suggested, it doesn't get you any closer to fixing the problem. I've installed Subsonic on Windows several hundred times and assisted many other users get their systems running, but if you don't listen to suggestions or give specific feedback detailing what is happening on your end no one can help you.
You seem to be implying that you've uninstalled Java and Subsonic and reattempted a clean install of both according to the guidelines in the link I've posted to the Tutorial. Is that correct? Are you saying that after a fresh Java and SS install on Windows you get no green tray icon on the task bar that lets you right-click and "Open Subsonic in Browser". That's the first step - the one that almost EVERYONE gets to. Are you really saying that you can't get that far?
