If the script can't find the setup file, it defaults to the admin login page so that you're forced to log in and set the list variables. This works fine on UNIX platforms, but is untested on Windows platforms, which is what UBBDEV appears to be running, hence the beta testing. The code causing this is in the second half of the "elsif" conditional on line 87 of memberlist.cgi.
