Dear,

On one computer (running Server 2016), I have:

fossil version -v
        This is fossil version 2.5 [f4a9df4dd0] 2017-12-23 04:21:41 UTC
        Compiled on Dec 27 2017 13:45:17 using msc-19.11 (64-bit)

And I can run it as a service:

fossil winsrv show fossil
        Service name .......: fossil
        Display name .......: fossil
        Service description : Fossil - Distributed Software Configuration 
Management
        Service type .......: Service runs in its own process.
        Service start type .: Started automatically by the service control 
manager.
        Binary path name ...: "C:\Tools\fossil.exe" server --repolist 
"I:/fossil"
        Service username ...: LocalSystem
        Current state ......: Running.

On another computer (which is 2012 R2), the exact same binary fails to run as a 
service:

fossil winsrv show fossil
        Service name .......: fossil
        Display name .......: fossil
        Service description : Fossil - Distributed Software Configuration 
Management
        Service type .......: Service runs in its own process.
        Service start type .: Started automatically by the service control 
manager.
        Binary path name ...: "C:\Develop\Fossil\fossil.exe" server --repolist 
"C:/Develop/Fossil"
        Service username ...: LocalSystem
        Current state ......: Stopped.

It is not started because upon attempt to start it, it fails and stops.  
Attempting to start it by "fossil winery start fossil" displays dots endlessly. 
 But I have no clue as to what this happens without any kind of log of what 
might go wrong. The Event Viewer simply confirms it started and then failed to 
start (or stop).

Running "C:\Develop\Fossil\fossil.exe" server --repolist "C:/Develop/Fossil" 
from a command-line is OK though.

Indeed the configuration is not rigorously the same between both machines, the 
paths where fossil.exe is located (along with the repository) are different. 
But that doesn't look suspect.

So what would you suggest I look for?
