Nut upsuser - Sep 2016 - Errors when running on Windows

I'm facing a looming deadline for getting this working, so I'm hoping
someone experienced can weigh in on this.

I'm getting errors in the Event Log when stopping the service:

  1. Error stopping upsd (2)
  2. Error stopping upsmon (2)

Is there a detailed log somewhere? How can I track this down and find out what
they mean? Or does someone know?

Also, these three commands result in only a blank line echoed to the screen:

  1. upsc ups at localhost
  2. upsmon
  3. upsd

I believe from reading the documentation that these should be producing some
result.

All of this leads me to the conclusion that NUT isn't working on my system.
Here is my configuration:

nut.conf
------------
MODE=standalone

ups.conf
------------
[ups]
  driver = usbhid-ups
  port = auto

upsmon.conf
------------
MONITOR ups at localhost 1 upsmon passwd master
MINSUPPLIES 1
SHUTDOWNCMD "shutdown -l"
POLLFREQ 5
POLLFREQALERT 5
HOSTSYNC 15
DEADTIME 15
POWERDOWNFLAG "C:\\killpower"
RBWARNTIME 43200
NOCOMMWARNTIME 300
FINALDELAY 5

upsd.users
------------
[upsmon]
  password = passwd
  upsmon master

Can someone assist?

What command(s) do you use to start NUT? Do usbhid-ups, upsd and upsmon

I think--THINK--that NUT.exe (running under the Windows service) is supposed to
take care of all the startup commands. I say this because when the service is
running I get the libUSB conflict error:

    Can't claim USB device [051d:0003]: libusb0-dll:err [claim_interface]
could not
    claim interface 0, win error: The requested resource is in use.

    Driver failed to start (exit status=1)

...and when I stop the service I can successfully run usbdrvctl start (albeit
with the 45-second hang and no hardware info displayed).

I get this in PowerShell:

    PS C:\Users\Admin> Get-Process *ups*

    Handles  NPM(K)    PM(K)      WS(K) VM(M)   CPU(s)     Id ProcessName
    -------  ------    -----      ----- -----   ------     -- -----------
         56       6      872       3688    46     0.03   4688 usbhid-ups

No upsd/upsmon as in your list.
