I did the additional chown, and my username is a mamber of the
administrators group, but I'm still getting the same error (1053).  Is
there any log file or something that will hint at the problem?  The
event viewer is not helping --

  The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( sshd ) cannot be
  found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry
  information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote
  computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve
  this description; see Help and Support for details. The following
  information is part of the event: sshd : PID 812 : starting service
  `sshd' failed: execv: 1, Operation not permitted.
