[rabbitmq-discuss] WinXP Embedded - Interactive Server works, Service does not.

Hi, I am having some issues getting RabbitMQ to run as an service on Windows XP Embedded.

It will start epmd.exe, erl.exe, and erlsrv.exe, but there are no log files created.

rabbitmqctl.bat status       returns:
Status of node 'rabbit at DANIEL-WYSE' ...
Error: unable to connect to node 'rabbit at DANIEL-WYSE' : nodedown

DIAGNOSTICS
===========

nodes in question: ['rabbit at DANIEL-WYSE']

hosts, their running nodes and ports:
- DANIEL-WYSE: [{'RabbitMQ',1898},{rabbitmqctl2558445,1904}]

current node details:
- node name: 'rabbitmqctl2558445 at DANIEL-WYSE'
- home dir: C:Docements and Settings\Administrator
- cookie hash: ak3qKWQRwDfzEGk9nwYiVQ==


All this works great when I start an interactive Server using rabbitmq-server.bat  (however when I use the -detach option, it fails exactly like rabbitmq-service.bat)

The environment variables appear to be set identically in both the service and the server.
rabbitmq-service.bat list      returns:

Service name: RabbitMQ
StopAction:
OnFail: ignore
Machine: c:\progra~1\ticketmaster\tmds\erlang\erts-5.9.2\bin\erl.exe
WorkDir:
SName: RabbitMQ
Priority: default
DebugType: none
Args:
InternalServiceName: RabbitMQ

I have disabled the windows firewall (this probably wasn't the issue anyway because I had it configured so that the server worked fine).

Any suggestions what I should try next?

Thanks
