[rabbitmq-discuss] Can no longer start RabbitMQ service

[Tim Watson]

Hi John,

A colleague has just pointed out that there is another possibility. Have you attempted to mix the installer with manual installation of the windows zip file? Because that is known not to work. If you have done that then the only way to recover is to uninstall the broker and erlang completely (including registry keys) and install the zipfile xor the windows installer.

Cheers,
Tim
