ERROR MESSAGE:
Could not read config file magick.ini, aborting.

I have IRCd running, and it allows me to connect and all that using a IRCc. It lets me know, There are no services. I come here to get services, and after much head scratching and fighting Unix fer Win progies, finaly dowload the right package.

I've installed it as per instructions, and edited the magick.ini i nthe main service folder where the app was installed. I run the batch file via the icon, and wala...

Could not read config file magick.ini, aborting.

Now I wouldn't mind a bit of information about WHY? I've tried a number of things, and I'm a little fustrated and flustered...

Now I've read all the posts from the beginning to end, and to tell yah the truth, they been about as helpfull as the error I get, though they seem to have had thier problems fixed.

1) --config C:\Progra~1\Magick~1\magick.ini
As you can see, I tried using Dos pathnames and files to direct Magick to the file.  Didn't werk. So I wasn't about to try %20's all through it.

2) --dir C:\Progra~1\Magick~1
I tried config and dir seperatly, and together. DOS and Win32 filesystem (128 character max). Nada.

3) Tried the default files, and still no go.

Now I know I'm a novice at services and IRCd, and how I know it. But I'm at a loss here. What is it that is actually wrong that won't permit this file from reading...

Well, I read that you wizards can figure this out just by loking at my magick.ini and my magick.log...  Well, I got no log file as the program wont go fer me... But here is the magick.ini...
