admingenerator symfony2 CSS not found

Question

I am trying to get started with admingenerator bundle for symfony2 on windows:

http://symfony2admingenerator.org/installation.html

I have followed the instruction for the out of the box, latest, nightly windows release. When running the app-dev.php script the admin interface is shown but the css is broken.

I have good working knowledge with codeigniter but i am just starting with sympfony, would appreciate a hint on this. As it is an unaltered distribution I hope there is an obvious solution. Thanks!

I have found a post experiencing this issue and the proposed solution was to use "Assetic Less". Attempts to configure accordingly to the scarce docu have been in vain. (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/symfony2admingenerator/-d5eyFJ3NjU/44XmT3p2LvUJ)

The description:

The following css can't be resolved: cfc4cff__base.css_1.css instead the following error message stack is returned

/* [exception] 500 | Internal Server Error | Assetic\Exception\FilterException [message] An error occurred while running: cmd /V:ON /E:ON /C ""/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/compass-0.11.7/bin/compass" "compile" "C:\Users\bion\AppData\Local\Temp" "--boring" "--images-dir" "C:\xampp\htdocs\nightly\app/../web/bundles/admingeneratoractiveadmintheme/images" "--config" "C:\Users\bion\AppData\Local\Temp\ass1F4.tmp" "--sass-dir" "" "--css-dir" "" "C:\Users\bion\AppData\Local\Temp\ass1F5.tmp.scss""

I have used a quick and dirty solution to just add all.css stylesheet in one the main twig index template.
