Hello,

You may want to try running "condor_master -f" from the command prompt,
and seeing if the output is at all helpful. This sometimes allows you to
get at messages that are printed before Condor's logging subsystem is
initialized (which you can't get at when Condor is run as a service).

AHA I think I may have found a packaging bug. When I run "condor_master
-f" I get

Can't open "C:\Condor/log/MasterLog"
2/23 15:46:27 dprintf() had a fatal error in pid 2756
Can't open "C:\Condor/log/MasterLog"
errno: 2 (No such file or directory)

If I rename the c:\condor\logs dir to c:\condor\log all is well.

many thanks for the replies,
