Matthias,

This is the message that comes from redirecting the command output to NUL - If I remove this redirect, the message goes away.

I admit I am not much of a Windows expert - I wish my project was on Linux!

The windows service shows up in the MMC Services Manager. It appears to be installed, since I can start & stop it either from the services manager or from the command line using rabbitmq-services.bat

When the service starts, I can see epmd.exe, erl.exe, and erlsrv.exe processes running in the Windows Task Manager, which leads me to believe the install portion was at least partially successful.

I did notice the message that "The system cannot find the file specified" even when I installed on my Windows 7 machine, where I can connect to the broker and send/receive message successfully.

After the substitutions, the commands in the rabbitmq-service.bat are invoked like this:
For the list:
c:\progra~1\ticketmaster\tmds\erlang\erts-5.9.2\bin\erlserv list RabbitMQ

For the add:
c:\progra~1\ticketmaster\tmds\erlang\erts-5.9.2\bin\erlserv add RabbitMQ
etc

I do get confirmation messages that "Service RabbitMQ added to system."
