Hi Glen,

Yes that should work for a testing / developer PC.

An 'IBM WMQ person' emailed me and said this was a known issue.  They said that 
there is a workaround: 
   'put the musr_mqadmin account into the administrators group.'

They also said that an upgrade may delete and recreate the musr_mqadmin 
account, hence, you may need to repeat the process.

I have not tried it as I'm back on WMQ v5.3.  Since, I am on contract at a 
client site, I cannot spend any more time on it.
