Re: [Wrapper-user] Wrapper question

[Christian <chr...@ta...>]

Lars,

this is most likely because you are running the commands from an
non-privileged environment. Starting/stopping a service requires Admin
privileges.
Starting with windows Vista, it's actually not enough anymore to be an
admin and run those commands, you actually also need to run them
explicitly in an elevated context, i.e. "As administrator" via UAC[1].

In 3.5.7 I have added direct support to use UAC directly from within the
Wrapper:

* Implemented a way to install, remove, start, stop, etc., the Wrapper
as a Windows service from a non-elevated (UAC) console. The Wrapper is
elevated transparently using a child process. This is needed starting
with Windows Vista and 2008 for smooth interaction with the Windows
Service Manager.

Please let me know if you have any further questions

Best Regards,
Christian

Hi Christian

I have tried the "sc", "net" and "wrapper -t" method and I always get an 
access denied message, I am running Windows 7.
