The cause has been found and recorded at http:// www.elvastower. com/forums/ index.php? /topic/ 33146-an- essential- file-is- missing- and-open- rails-cannot- continue/ page__pid_ _249000# entry249000
The forum thread reports that the Open Rails error-handling assumes that any unexpected error at start-up is due to "an essential file is missing".
This is a fair assumption for a damaged installation and would be cured by a re-installation. However the thread identifies a different cause - damaged Windows - which could be caught and reported separately.
Also, the message "an essential file is missing" should suggest a re-installation.
