Windows 9.16.25 fails to start (1067 Terminated unexpectedly)

[Richard T.A. Neal]

I run BIND on Windows as well but I've been unable to upgrade to 9.16.25 - I get an error stating "Error Validating Account. Unable to install service using this account.". So I'm presently running 9.16.21.

What are the last few things in the Application Event Log (Source: named) before it terminates?

Richard.

Dear list,

When recently trying to upgrade some secondary-only authoritative servers running on Windows machines, I found that Bind 9.16.25 (x86_64) binaries from isc.org failed to completely startup, causing Windows to report that "1067 The process terminated unexpectedly.", with 0 process exit code.  Attempting to up the debug level all the way to "-d 100" 
failed to log a reason, but downgrading to the 9.16.21 binaries resumed operation.

Is there a known issue and workaround for this, or is there any additional information to extract?
