Has this part of the exim daemon changed between 4.10 and 4.12?

This reminds me of something similar, possibly last month.
Look for "exim", "services", "gerritt"
In the end it was because exim was running as a special user who didn't have
permission on the whole tree under c:\winnt.
First make sure Everybody has rx access to it.
