The short answer is you have to walk the entire chain & collect outputs pointing to your address. This would likely take hours

skyrunner did you download the 64 bit version of the Windows installer (https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.0/) or 32 bit?
I'm running bitcoind on an Azure virtual machine, but I chose Ubuntu. Before I settled on Linux, I did create a Windows 2012 vm as you did and didn't encounter any issues. But this was with the x86 version of Bitcoin 0.8.6.

so how do you use it? can you please explain or point to some tutorials?
when I run
bitcoind -daemon
it tells me "this app can't run on your PC"
and if I run
bitcoin-cli listreceivedbyaccount 1XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
it tells me
error: couldn't connect to server
when I run
bitcoind -daemon
it tells me "this app can't run on your PC"
and if I run
bitcoin-cli listreceivedbyaccount 1XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
it tells me
error: couldn't connect to server

Ive been doing a similar thing (2012 on azure) and an MVC front end. I don't use that wrapper tho. No issues here.
Are you running bitcoind as a service or just in console?

After blockchain.info API 2 week outage, I've decided to try running bitcoind and monitoring accounts myself. I want users to pay and instantly know that payment was received.
I installed bitcoin core on Windows Server 2012 x64 (Azure) and tried
bitcoind listreceivedbyaccount xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -rpcuser=xxxx -rpcpassword=xxxxxxx
but there was a system message "this app can't run on your PC"
I was planning to use https://github.com/GeorgeKimionis/BitcoinLib
When I run Cosole app, I get the same "this app can't run on your PC" message
Any ideas?
