[rabbitmq-discuss] Windows server 2012 config file not found

[Greg Woodbury]

It turns out that because the config file is not created as a part of the 
base install, you actually have to re-install the service after adding the 
config file. Doing this resolved my issue. We are currently on version 
3.3.2.

Hope this helps someone!
