Thanks for your answer Pierre ..
Here is my exim.log when I try to run it from service.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
CYGWIN = "ntsec". Root / mapped to F:\cygwin.
Starting uid 18 gid 18
root_uid 1001 exim_uid 1001 exim_gid 513
Exim version 4.04 uid=18 gid=18 pid=2508 L=834cd8 D=fff7577f
probably GDBM (native mode)
Exim has no root privilege: uid=18 gid=18 euid=18 egid=18
changed uid/gid: forcing real = effective
  uid=18 gid=18
  auxiliary group list: 0
LOG: MAIN PANIC DIE
  Exim configuration file /usr/local/exim/configure has the wrong owner,
group, or mode
search_tidyup called
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Exim pid=2508 terminating with rc=1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
I really don't understand, as you can see owner and group id are SYSTEM.
Permissions on configure are as follow:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
-rw-r--r--    1 18       18          21262 Jul  2 11:58 configure
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
Owned by SYSTEM, readable/writable by SYSTEM and readable only for others.

Here it is .. I'm looking further to check out what's wrong ... This may be
also a CYGWIN permission problem... (This is not the first  problem I have
when using ntsec with a domain user)

Thanks again ..

Thomas
