Thanks, full paths worked, but had a limited set of folders to work in. For example, I had originally tried "C:\Program Files\mosquitto\ pwfile.example", and "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\mosquitto\pwfile.example" (both with and without the quotes) and it didn't work.
I did end up getting it to work in C:\ProgramData\mosquitto\pwfile.example. So I suspect the paths accessible by Windows services are limited. Still, environment variables would be nice, so I could do %ProgramData%\mosquitto\myapp.conf Thanks, Steve On Thu, Aug 1, 2013 at 10:42 AM, Roger Light <ro...@atchoo.org> wrote: > Hi Steve, > > I can't look at this until later, but I'd suggest using a complete > path rather than using %APPDATA% for now.
