I fixed it
 here is what i did incase anyone else has problems..

 

I edited the registry at this key 


 

And I added the user .\named to the logs directory under bin and added WRITE
permissions, otherwise it can’t write a log..

 

This is what I have found so far, the service now starts and all seems
well..

Subject: (64 bit windows) Changing service to start from directory

 

Hi there,

 

Just installed BIND on a Windows 64 bit system.. everything is ok
 but it
actually installs it into 

 

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\dns

 

And the service wishes to start in 

 

C:\Windows\system32\dns\bin\named.exe

 

How can I change this to SysWOW64?

 

When installing BIND I asked for it to be installed in system32 but I think
the 64 bit system changed the path automatically..

 

So as I say the full path of the installation is here
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\dns – so all I need to do I think is force the Service
(properties on Service, ICS BIND, path to executable) to be changed to
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\dns from C:\Windows\system32\dns\bin\

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Ian
