I'm following up in the interest of completeness, although I admit that I have
no good answers. I tried the 4.2.7p382 @ 1.2483-o binaries from (I think) your
site today and I must have been invoking ntpd from the command line improperly
as it appeared not to run. So I gave it up for dead as I'm running out of time
to get this box running and installed some other support software needed by
other packages.
While waiting for a download to complete I went into Windows Services manager
and clicked start and it STARTED! I don't know why, but perhaps installing .Net
4 Framework and one of the 7 Windows Updates that got applied did the trick.
I'm sorry I don't have more specifics as I wasn't using the Scientific Method
at this point. At least I'm happy that I'll have a decent time source now.
Cheers!
Excellent news, Olo!
I had something similar with a completely different piece of software
the other day which would not connect to the Internet, and I couldn't
see why. Tried disabling the Windows firewall with no change. A few
hours later, disabling the firewall allowed connection, and connection
continued with the firewall re-enabled. Doubtless not related to your
problem at all, except for the didn't work / did work effect!
I very rarely run NTPD from the command-line, usually it "just works" as
a service. Perhaps those extra updates installed one of the MS VC
runtime DLLs Martin mentioned?
Thanks for reporting back in any case.
