[asterisk-biz] DialplanPro Beta - Windows GUI

[Steve Totaro]

I get an unable to locate DLL error when I try to run the proggie.  The 
dynamic link library gdiplus.dll could not be found in the specified path.

This is with Win2k Server and whatever version is currently linked on 
the download page.

Looks pretty interesting though.

Thanks,
Steve
