After hours of scouring this mailing list I was able to resolve my own problem
with "0x5 Access is denied." errors when starting my Windows 2000 service.

I installed this service without specifying the wrapper.ntservice.account, so
it is running with the default "LocalSystem" account.  I was also able to start
the service from the batch script without any problems.  However, running it
from the command line inherited my currently logged in user's (Administrator)
credentials. Also, several other (built-in) services were starting up without
problems.

The issue was that the directory structure that the service was referencing
(C:\myproject\wrapper.exe) had full access permissions granted to the "Users"
group, however since my service runs as "System", the directory structure and
all the files will also need read/execute permissions granted to the "System"
user account.

Hope this helps,
