That's fine. This was one unimplemented feature for BINDInstall. >>> named.conf has the line: >>> directory "D:\named.conf"; >>> >> Unless you actually have a folder called D:\named.conf\ then I suspect >> this is wrong.

If you install the software in D:\bind9 then the binaries will be in D:\bind9\bin and the config file named.conf will be in D:\bind9\etc. I don't think you need anything else. > And the other thing is keeping the system's registry as simple and clean > as possible, by not using registry for start-up arguments and indicating > them in the command line for the service.

If there are changes you want to have added send a message to bind9-bugs.
