Register Windows Service failed in Windows server 2003

[kaziyushi]

Hi,

Currently I’m using InstallAnywhere 2013 Premier for my project. This project requires me to register my program executable as a windows service hence I use the built-in
function “Register Windows Service” for that purpose.

For a start, I have created a simple java proxy program and register this as windows service using the Register Windows Service. Did a testing on several OS and the installer works fine in both Windows Server 2008 (64-bit) and Windows 7. However this is not the case for Windows Server 2003 (64-bit). From the installer log, it seems like it has failed to register the service with the message as per below:-


Register NT Service: MyService
Status: WARNING
Additional Notes: WARNING - Failure registering the NT Service


Does the built-in function “Register Windows Service” supports for Windows Server 2003 as well? If yes, appreciate your advise on the failure.

Hello,

Did you had some windows event log that may better describe what the problem is?
