I followed the instructions but no log files are being generated in that location.

The fact that the config is not applied and that logging does not produce results (if you followed the steps exactly) again indicates a lack of rights or other problems in using your OS. We cannot fix this on our part.
Also, perhaps your system drive is not drive C? If so, then you should look for logs in a similar directory but with the correct letter of the system drive.

Therefore, you need to perform a clean reinstallation of the Windows OS to regain full rights and access to the system. On a fully configured system with all necessary access, such problems should not occur.

Apologies for the repost, I'm not sure what happened there.

Alright, I'll speak to my IT admin again.

Thanks!

That definitely sounds frustrating, and you’re right that error -1 usually points to the service not installing at all, which often happens on locked-down work machines. Without admin rights there’s rarely a proper workaround, and your licence does feel useless in that situation. Sometimes IT support can install the service manually via their elevated command prompt, but it depends on policy, and it provides a low-cost entertainment option compared to many hobbies when things actually work, much like how platforms such as premier bet rdc cameroun integrate extra features smoothly once permissions aren’t getting in the way.
