I'm following up in the interest of completeness, although I admit that I have no good answers. I tried the 4.2.7p382 @ 1.2483-o binaries from (I think) your site today and I must have been invoking ntpd from the command line improperly as it appeared not to run. So I gave it up for dead as I'm running out of time to get this box running and installed some other support software needed by other packages.
While waiting for a download to complete I went into Windows Services manager and clicked start and it STARTED! I don't know why, but perhaps installing .Net 4 Framework and one of the 7 Windows Updates that got applied did the trick.
I'm sorry I don't have more specifics as I wasn't using the Scientific Method at this point. At least I'm happy that I'll have a decent time source now.
Cheers!
