Windows cannot start MySQL Proxy service

[Prashant C Chaturvedi]

I successfully created a windows service on Windows 7 64 bit by following command

>sc create "mysqlproxy" DisplayName= "MySQL Proxy" start= "auto" binPath= "C:\Program Files\MySQL\mysql-proxy-0.8.2-winx64-x86\bin\mysql-proxy-svc.exe --defaults-file=C:\Program Files\MySQL\mysql-proxy-0.8.2-winx64-x86\conf\mysql-proxy.conf"

Output: [SC] CreateService SUCCESS

My mysql-proxy.conf is as below:

[mysql-proxy]
log-file = proxy.log
log-level = debug
proxy-backend-addresses = 172.16.47.122:3306
proxy-read-only-backend-addresses = 172.16.47.161:3306

In which 172.16.47.122 server has mysql-proxy. MySQL server is running as master on 172.16.47.122:3306 and slave is running on 172.16.47.161:3306

When I start the service by issuing following command, it doesn't start:
>net start mysqlproxy

Output:

The MySQL Proxy service is starting.
The MySQL Proxy service could not be started.

A system error has occurred.

System error 1067 has occurred.

The process terminated unexpectedly.

What could be wrong in the configuration?

When I start the mysql-proxy as service with any command line arguments it works fine, but I need to specify backend addresses
