Feel free to improve the .bat file. :) It does need a little work put 
into it before it can mirror its shell counterpart.

We'll do something like it for 0.9.3 which includes everything needed.

No problem - thanks for wanting the standalone module to be functional. 
If you have any ideas for it let this list know.

Cheers,
