There are two styles of the config file. If it is in the windows .ini format, i.e. if the first non-comment line is a section header, then it expects it in key = value format. If there is no section header, it’s in “compatibility” mode, and it doesn’t expect an =.
I need to divert logging to the eventlog before it reads the config file, but that’s the issue.
My suggestion would be to use the same technique as before: run it in the foreground and see what it’s mad about. “c:program filesmt-daapd -d9 -f”

Turns out that the db_parms parameter in my config file had a final “” at the end of the path:
db_parms=D:MediaMy Musicmt-daapd
That caused the process to crash. 🙂
Removing the last so that it reads
db_parms=D:MediaMy Musicmt-daapd
cured the problem. Apparently mt-daapd doesn’t want Windows paths to end with “”.
