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

Matthias,

Yes, I get the same message for "dir 2>NUL 1>NUL"

It looks like I misspoke before.  I get this message on the WinXP Embedded machine, and also in my XP virtual machine that I was testing, but not on the Windows 7 machine.

Yes, that's correct.

I just tried this, by setting %RABBITMQ_BASE% = C:\RabbitMQ
After I installed the service, the results from "list" were identical. I tried running it, with the same results, so I checked in C:\RabbitMQ and I see it created the "db" subdirectory, but there are no logs generated.  So the behavior is the same as before I changed the RABBITMQ_BASE directory.

Daniel
