<P><FONT SIZE=2>Matthias, thanks so much for your patient attempts to help.<BR>
<BR>
Another poster on the mailing list (Emile Joubert) turned out to have the solution:<BR>
<BR>
"...remove all<BR>
registry keys under HKLM/SOFTWARE/Ericsson/Erlang/ErlSrv. Then install<BR>
Erlang and the broker."<BR>
<BR>
This may be a valuable addition to the troubleshooting guide for windows users. I'm guessing that it may<BR>
ultimately be possible to modify the windows uninstaller to remove these keys (there's a "RabbitMQ" key under<BR>
HKLM/SOFTWARE/Ericson/Erlang/ErlSrv/1.1, and it may suffice to delete just that one.)<BR>
<BR>
Thanks once again, I will return to the task I originally set out for (configuring RabbitMQ for one way SSL).<BR>
I will experiment with this before I bother you again!<BR>
<BR>
thanks again<BR>
<BR>

So running 'rabbitmq-service install' produces the same output as you<BR>
posted earlier (modulo the difference in Erlang version)? What does<BR>
'rabbitmq-service list' show?<BR>

Sure, though to get this right it would be incredibly useful to<BR>
reproduce the problem.<BR>
