I'm using the -datadir option but it keeps creating the Bitcoin dir in the appdata directory on C:\

Tried deleting that dir to confirm - yep, it just recreates it every run like a new install.
Tried changing the \'s to /'s in the path, no difference
Tried running it from a cmd prompt, it complains about a missing directive in the conf file - the path reported for the conf file is on the C: drive, even though I have datadir=... on the cmdline



edit: finally got it working, I realised I had "datadir Z:\..." instead of "datadir=Z:\..."
Took about a minute to start, no sign of the program except in task manger, but once it did start my transactions, addresses and balance are all there. Yay.
