I am also getting the following:

sc create "nDroid Service" start= auto binPath= %1"\nDroidService.exe"

Code:

[SC] CreateService FAILED 1073:
The specified service already exists.

sc query nDroid Service

Code:

Did you make sure that you uninstalled the previous version of the service (as described in post #2 of ths thread)?

Open a command prompt and try running...

Code:

sc qc "nDroid Service"

...then post what the result is.

Yes, I followed the uninstall instructions of the old service.

sc qc "nDroid Service"

Code:

[SC] GetServiceConfig SUCCESS

Other than the path, that looks the same I see for my installation. :confused:

Let me check something...

[bgowland]

OK, I'm a bit stuck on this. Could you try uninstalling (use Control Panel Add/Remove Programs) then run the installer again? There's a slight possibility something went wrong with the installation the first time.

If that doesn't work I'll have to attach a new version with some more logging in it.

C:\Users\public\Beetec Services\nDroid Service\logs (for Vista and Windows 7)

I don't see this folder on Vista, and there are other Vista UAC issues,

First the config program gives this.

Code:

Also your two batch files in the Start Menu are not UAC aware so they won't control the services but they run so quickly you can't see the error.

Running any of these as administrator solves the issues.

I don't see this folder on Vista, and there are other Vista UAC issues

OK, I made some assumptions for Vista/W7 as I don't have either to test on.

I'll look at this closer. Thanks.

[bgowland]

@Martin: Does everything else appear to work correctly, e.g., the service starts/runs OK and you're able to connect from your device?

I have a possible fix for the 'data' directory issue and I'll upload a test version ASAP but if there are other Vista issues I'd rather try to address them at the same time.

Cheers,
Brian

I didn't actually try and connect since there was no data directory with zip files but the service started. For UAC reasons I think the XML file should be in the data directory if you are going to have one.

Good point.

For UAC reasons I think the XML file should be in the data directory if you are going to have one.

That's what I was aiming for but misinterpreted the use of the installer's env variables. Can you confirm that C:\users\public\ allows all users read/write access on Vista without UAC problems? That was my assumption and where I was intending the data files to go.
