You don't just run the .exe. IIRC, you actually open the command prompt, and type in like [stuff] [variables] [whatever] [so on so forth] programwhatever.exe. Or you can use the front-end available. If you can't find it I might put it up somewhere.

See my page on this very topic at http://www.realtimerendering.com/dm, now linked from the original Dancing Monkeys page. Dancing Monkeys is quirky to get working, but once it gets going some of the resulting files are surprisingly nice (or at least reasonable starting points for making your own step files).
By the way, I am currently working on a new version of Dancing Monkeys, altering the original code. Some of the changes so far:
Input MP3's are converted to MP3's on output.
Title and artist information found in a MP3 is written to the step files.
Step files are now named the same as the original song file, instead of steps.sm and steps.dwi.
A directory can be given as the input. All MP3 and WAV files found in the directory or subdirectories are converted.
The song directory is created only if the conversion was successful.
General cleanup and stability fixes, e.g. specifying the output directory now works.
I plan on adding a rather insane number of options controlling input, output, and processing. This new version should be available in a week or three, once I feel good about it all. Most of the changes I'm making for now are superficial, not messing with the internals so much as polishing what's already there. As time goes on I hope to grok more and more of the code and start putting in modifications to the original code - better arrows, stops, steps in general, etc.

MixMeister BPM Analizer. That's what I use.

A new version of Dancing Monkeys (v1.02 beta) is now available here: http://www.monket.net/dancing-monkeys/home-page
A nice small download (155 kb) that you layer on top of the original 1.01 distribution and you're in business. See the page for all the new features.
Let me know of any problems.
More news: there's also a new front-end, called Gorilla, by David Flink. Download it from the same place.
