I have no idea how things work on Windows, but I doubt "directory" is optional.

Subject: Having trouble setting up BIND 9.9.2-P2 on Win XP PRO SP3, won't start
I installed bind using the default settings in the
installer. I successfully generated a rndc.key file. I
needed to populate the etc folder, so I downloaded the
Ubuntu version of bind and extracted the contents of /etc
and put them in Windows version of etc. I went through
the files one by one and replaced Linux paths with Windows
paths. So bind starts then immediately quits. The error
report is below. I have included my config files. I am
using bind only as a recursive revolver as my ISP DNS
servers are super slow and they do DNS hijacking. I don't
want to use any other DNS server other than the one
running on my machine. I want to run my own DNS server
for fun. So what could be wrong, what did I miss.
named.conf:
include "C:\WINDOWS\system32\dns\etc\named.conf.options";
include "C:\WINDOWS\system32\dns\etc\named.conf.local";
include
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\dns\etc\named.conf.default-zones";
My named.conf was just fine. At least for the current
version I didn't need to set the dir path, it appears to
be auto set. Bind was failing to start because of a
permissions issue. It couldn't open named.conf and after
granting permissions it worked. This Windows machine now
has a working resolver and is much faster that other
remote DNS servers. Normally I only use Ubuntu and bind
setup is much easier there.
