Could you Copy&Paste the command line used to install the service?
A mandatory parameter is -c (chdir) so mongrel_service will know where
to find your rails application
Also, if the service was installed with previous versions of service::
command, remove it and recreate, the syntax passed to the service
differ.
(And remember remove the prior version of mongrel_service also, could
show up conflicts).
You could try if your rails application start properly doing:
mongrel_service console single [your mongrel_rails params]
Ex:
mongrel_service console single -c "C:/My Rails App" -p 4000 -e
production

I posted several weeks ago (plugin beta of mongrel_service) that
::start and ::stop were replaced by plain simple "net start
service_name" (less keystrokes):
"mongrel_rails service::start -N myservice".length
=> 41
"net start myservice".length
=> 19

I revert to the previous version (0.1 ruby) the missing options show up and the
service starts even with mongrel 1.0.1.

Beside the start/stop missing from service stuff, there are more
important things that differ between both versions:
1) The new service process is not Ruby based, but a 3rd party
executable that spawn your mongrel_rails (and your rails application).
This is the safest scenario, no win32-service native threading mixing
with ruby green threads (that often caused the services to fail on
stop).
2) Not injecting stuff into your mongrel+rails process benefits you,
reducing possible point of failure due faulty code committed by me in
a 48hs hacking session.
I''ll update the docs when return to office, so next time zed publish
the site will be correct.
