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

Thu Nov 1 23:25:08 GMT 2012

As a status update, I found that if I go back to RabbitMQ version 2.2.0, the service works correctly on my VM running XP, but this did not change the behavior on the Windows XP Embedded system.  So this is not "common across XP versions" as I had been thinking before.

I have also tested with versions 2.0.0 and 1.7.0 but so far I am not able to get the service running on XP embedded.

Best Regards,
Daniel

Hi Simon,

Here is the output from running rabbitmq-service.bat install, after removing the @echo off.

(One additional note, I just done the same steps to install RabbitMQ on a virtual machine running regular XP, and it gives the same results that I have described for the XP embedded install, so maybe this is common across XP versions.)

Gosh, I thought you must have done something strange. But no.

So my suspicion is obviously on WinXP Embedded. Unfortunately I'd never even heard of it before, and I certainly don't have a copy lying around.

My best guess is that something is going badly wrong with the batch interpreter and "rabbitmq-service.bat install". If you can run "rabbitmq-service.bat remove", (and make sure that worked), remove the "@echo off" from the start, run "rabbitmq-service.bat install" and send me the output I can peer at it. But I wouldn't want to promise anything.

Cheers, Simon
