The above indicates that the basic erlan communication must have been 
working, unlike in your non-service example. The problem above is most 
likely due to not having 'reset' the db of the node you are joining to 
the cluster. I'd recommend starting from a clean install, set up the two 
nodes as windows services, ensure that they are working properly, and 
then run the stop_app, reset, cluster, start_app sequence on one of the 
nodes.
