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

[Daniel Lewis]

Yes, c:\progra~1\ticketmaster\tmds\erlang\bin exists.  Just to be sure, I installed Microsoft's Redistributable Package (to install all the runtime objects), but that did not fix it.

Also, I tried with older versions of Erlang ( R15B01, R14B04, R14B02, R14B_erts-5.8.1.1, and R13B04 ), with no success.

Best Regards,
Daniel

Oh, hang on.

The Erlang people managed to release an initial Windows build of R15B02 which did not install the MSVCR100 runtime. As a consequence the Erlang install looked like it succeeded but was in fact broken. This might explain what you're seeing.

You can tell if this happened since C:\Program Files\erl5.9.2\bin does not exist.

Oh, I see you installed to a different location - does c:\progra~1\ticketmaster\tmds\erlang\bin exist?

If you are in this situation, then please uninstall Erlang and reinstall with  otp_win32_R15B02_with_MSVCR100_installer_fix.exe from http://www.erlang.org/download.html.

Cheers, Simon
