<BR>
I uninstalled RabbitMQ and Erlang (5.9.1).<BR>
This left some directories, which I manually deleted:<BR>
<BR>
{user}\AppData\Roaming\RabbitMQ<BR>
c:\program files\RabbitMQ<BR>
(also confirmed that .erlang.cookie was gone, too.)<BR>
<BR>
downloaded installer otp_win32_R15B02_with_MSVCR100_Installer_fix.exe<BR>
<BR>
Installed the above (being careful to "run as administrator".<BR>
Then ran rabbitmq-server-3.0.0.exe (also as administrator).<BR>
<BR>
Exactly the same symptoms and result.<BR>
<BR>
Erlang seems to be successfully installed, at least, I can run the erlang console, toolbar, etc.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
I am left with suspicions that there is some permissions issue, but I am afraid I may have to step into the erlang service<BR>
installer in debug mode to find out what the exact problem is. This may be more erlang than I want to get into, but I<BR>
may have to just bite this bullet. <BR>
<BR>
If I had a suggestion to the RabbitMQ team, it would be that their windows installer be made aware of these conditions so that<BR>
it does not report successful installation when that was not in fact successful.<BR>
<BR>
regards<BR>

Please grab the Erlang R15B02 (aka 5.9.2) Windows Binary download from<BR>
<A HREF="http://www.erlang.org/download.html">http://www.erlang.org/download.html</A> and let us know whether that makes a<BR>
difference.<BR>
