Bob,

Ok - I just gave this a try on a machine that didn't have nntp//rss
installed. I downloaded a fresh copy of JavaService 2.0.10 from
ObjectWeb, and unpacked it. I then downloaded a copy of nntp//rss
0.5b1, and installed it into c:\program files\nntprss.

I then copied JavaService.exe into c:\program files\nntprss, and ran
the following command from that directory:

javaservice.exe -install "nntprss" "c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_06
\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll" "-Djava.class.path=c:\program
files\nntprss\nntprss-start.jar" -start
org.methodize.nntprss.Startup -current "c:\program files\nntprss"

This resulted in the following message -

"The nntprss automatic service was successfully installed"

I then went to the Services Control Panel applet, and was able to
successfully start the nntp//rss service. I could access the admin
interface by going to http://127.0.0.1:7180 in my browser.

Does this compare to what you did? If you're still having issues,
it looks like the JavaService supports '-out_log_file' and '-
err_log_file' parameters that can be used to redirect output to a
file (run "JavaService -help install" to see the description of
these parameters). You may want to try uninstalling the service
then reinstall with these parameters to see if anything gets dumped
to the files.
