As discussed on the Open Babel mailing list (openbabel- 
discuss ~~ lists.sourceforge.net), we pulled the originally-released  
Windows GUI which had these problems.

There is, in fact, an updated Windows executable as of this morning.
http://openbabel.sourceforge.net/

 From Chris Morley:
> There is a revised compiled Windows version of OpenBabel 2.0.0  
> available for download as openbabel-2.0.0winS.zip.
>
> This has both a GUI and a command line program, each built as a  
> standalone exe.
>
> Both programs look the same as before, except that the command line  
> version has slightly improved error messages,  arising from it  
> being built with the latest MS compiler.

Best regards,
Geoff
