Thanks, Alan
Hi Alan, please add a environment variable RANDFILE to your system configuration which points to the etc subdirectory of your NTP installation. Like this: Control Panel > System and Maintenance > System > Advanced Settings On the "Advanced" tab, use the "Environment Variables" button to open the required dialogue. Use the lower "New..." button to add a system-wide environment variable named "RANDFILE" and assign a full pathname to it, e.g. "C:\PROGRAM FILES\NTP\ETC\ntp.rnd". Save and restart NTPD and it should work. The installer should do that and I will carefully test this on Vista 32/64bit before releasing the next version of it.
