Re: [Wrapper-user] Can run wrapped app, or install as service, but can't start ("Access denied")

[John C. <jm...@mu...>]

Thanks, I hadn't added the "part of operating system" right.  Since
this machine is behind a firewall, on a private network, I added
"Everyone" *and* several other users individually.  Unfortunately,
"Start" still fails.

When you ask which account I use, I just use my normal login account
to do the Start.  Is there something else I should be doing?  Is there
something in the conf file that sets an account (I don't see anything
like this)?

On the question of what the service does this is a test service, and
it doesn't do much -- it checks the last-modified time of a file and
*may* invoke COMMAND to do a copy -- but when started as a service, it
doesn't even appear to be able to write an entry in its log.  If I
attempt to add the service again, not using the install script, just
"wrapper.exe -i <conf-file>", with "c:\" as the working directory, I
do get a log entry about the service already being installed.
