[Federation Manager] Windows compatibility ?

Question

Hi all,
I try to run Federation Manager (if you know some forum dedicated to this program... :) ) and it looks like I got always the same problem. I did the following steps :
a) download federation manager for windows
b) extract the zip file
c) update the silentinstall.manifest
d) launch the fmsetup
e) create the WAR file using fmwar
f) deploy the war file into my Sun Application Server (included with NetBeans).
okay, there is no problem during this steps. Now I want to access my federation manager instance.
a) I surf to http://localhost:8080/fm
b) The browser redirects me to http://localhost:8080/amadmin/UI/Login
c) I enter the login / password
d) The browser try to redirect me to http://thecaptain:8080/base/AMAdminFrame and it display me a 404 error resource not found :(
So I read the user's guide and I fall on this line (page 29) :
Platforms and Operating Systems
You can install Federation Manager on the following platforms running the applicable
operating systems.
TABLE 1�1 Operating Systems
Platform Operating System Version
Sparc� Solaris 8 / 9 / 10
x86 Solaris 9 / 10
x86 Windows and Linux Available soon
So I ask you, is really Federation Manager not compatible with a Windows XP platform ?
Thanks for your response !
Best regards
