Failing to getting libextractor (0.5.18) working on windows

I downloaded libextractor-0.5.18.zip, unzipped to a folder

copied a file test.doc into the same folder and executed:

extractor test.doc

All I get is a blank line and the program exits back to the prompt, no error message, no warnings.  Not a whole lot more if I use the -V switch.

The test.doc file is the same one I uploaded to the page online that allows you to test the libextractor.

Am I missing a step somewhere, an env variable.  I thought all I had to was unzip the zip file and hey presto off it goes, like (swish-e for example), but I'm currently at a loss and any help would be much appreciated.

You have to copy lib\libextractor\*.dll to bin\ first.


Hope this helps,
