We recommend using the latest version, though that probably won't solve
the problem you describe.

It is not immediately clear what the cause of the problem is, but if you
can answer some questions then we can narrow it down:

Does it work if you perform a default installation using the installer?
If you are installing manually make sure you follow the instructions
meticulously: http://www.rabbitmq.com/install-windows-manual.html

Do you get the same error if you install on C: (i.e. don't set
RABBITMQ_BASE)?

Do you have permissions on the installation directory?

Which plugins do you have installed?

Does the "WorkDir" row in the output of "rabbitmq-service.bat list"
contain the expected value?

Does Erlang start normally without RabbitMQ? (erl -sname foo)

Does the hostname route properly?

I'm afraid it doesn't tell me much either. It is rarely useful.
