If there are changes you want to have added send a message to bind9-bugs. This is the problem. If the InstallDir key is deleted from the registry, the bind at start searches for the named.conf in the system32\etc folder and falls with an error. That's why I asked about the -c option that is not taken. If without that regystry key, the bind service will try to find a named.conf under the etc folder from where the executable resides - will be easier. For example PHP is searching for the ini file in systme32 folder, then in the executable folder, then in paths. InstallDir is required in the registry for proper administration of BIND9.

If the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ISC\BIND\InstallDir is present, then at the start the named.conf is searched under the folder etc of InstallDir folder. If I delete this key, the the named.conf file is searched in system32/etc folder or something under system32 folder. Yes. that's what it's designed to do. In both cases the -c option is not taken by the service. Debugging this is not easy but having the arguments on the ImagePath registry should be okay. As starting bind from command line, the -c option is taken in account and named.conf is read from the specified path. That's expected. How to tell the named running as a service to read the config file from the path specified with -c option? Some one please.

How to tell the named running as a service to read the config file from the path specified with -c option?

No luck: The following information is part of the event: none:0: open:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\etc\named.conf: file not found
So why not put the configuration file there. Then use the directory
option to direct BIND to look for all the zone files on the D: drive.
options {
directory D:\bind_config;
other options as required
}

This is not the answer I am looking. If the parameter exists, it's must
working.
