named.exe runs as a Win32 "service", aka daemon on *nix systems.
BINDinstall.exe will load named.exe into NT´s services list, at which point
you manage it with the services applet just like any other service. (start
/ stop / how to starup / disable / etc)
Cricket´s book gives command examples for *nix (eg, "#" is the "root
prompt" symbol, not part of the ensuing command). Don´t use unix commands
on Windows.
With all the responses here, are you now running ok?
BINDctrl panel does allow you to add occasionally useful params to the
start up of bind, such -d or -d2 for debugging output to the named.run log
file.
