I believe the bacula win64 client installer (and possibly the win32 one 
too) is broken if you do a "Custom (not recommended)" install rather than 
the "Automatic" install.  It even says you'll have to edit the 
bacula-fd.conf file manually if you do that.

The problem is that the resulting config file has the placeholders rather 
than the values it's supposed to write into the file.  After running it, if 
you open the config file and replace the items surrounded by @ characters 
with meaningful values you should then be able to start the service and 
have it stay running.  I think Kern mentioned at some point the next 
version of Bacula will have an improved windows installer.
