How to get nginx startup logs?

Question

Nginx

Open server 5.0.0
Windows 8
Nginx-1.5.12
Due to a buggy nginx config, the server does not start. nginx logs are not generated. Is it possible to catch jambs of the config?
Nginx-1.5.12_server.conf:

error_log         "%sprogdir%/userdata/logs/%httpdriver%_error.log" warn;

wiki.nginx.org/CommandLine

# nginx -t -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

And try setting a fixed error_log that nginx can write to for sure.
