The Message Queuing service cannot start due to problem with transactions checkpoint file.

Microsoft.MSMQ.2008.Rule.Alert.Event2064 (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

The transactions checkpoint file failed to initialize. The file MQTrans.lg1 or MQTrans.lg2 in the Msmq\Storage folder are corrupted or absent.

Causes

Checkpoint files must be available for Message Queuing to function properly. To resolve this issue, you must delete the transaction checkpoint files, as well as the QMLog file in the Message Queuing storage directory. This can result in some messages being duplicated. However, this resolution will get the service running as soon as possible and usually without data loss.

Resolutions

To perform these procedures, you must have membership in Administrators, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
