Re: [Wrapper-user] RE: Win2k access denied on service start (Resolved)

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Marc,
    Thanks for posting back with the solution.  File system access 
permissions can be a pain.
Let me know if you have any ideas on how I can help users resolve these 
problems more
quickly.  Problem is if the Wrapper can't be run, it can't be run...

Cheers,
Leif
