for some reason, I can not get hpt to "see" any sort of packets?
I have unzipped the packets in to inbound folder, and hpt does do anything with
them, even reduced it down to 1 packet. no error from hpt, nor in hpt.log, and
tparser is worthless, it does not show any sort of error

I have hpt in c:\ele (elebbs) so my config is in there as well
I have tried with the \\  and on this config, it does complain when using \\

what am I missing?

below is my current hpt config
