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

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

John,
That message is most likely coming from the Service Manager so it
will not be an issue with the Wrapper configuration.  You can confirm
this by checking your wrapper.log file and making sure that it does
not contain any output from the service attempting to be run.
Also check for a wrapper.log file under the windows and
windows\system32 directories.

As Hubert said, it could be a problem with your security policy.

 From your  response, you are not setting an account run as.  correct?
That would mean that you are running as the SYSTEM account.

Where do you have your wrapper.exe?  Is it possible that there are
some security restrictions set on the directory that would be
preventing the SYSTEM user from accessing the wrapper binary.
I have had problems from users in the past before that turned out
to be this sort of thing.

Cheers,
Leif
