How to create a service in windows vista example

Question

Hi all,

I am trying to create a new windows vista service through sc utility in command run, from some reason what worked in windows xp doesn't work in vista (surprised?). I am running the following command:

sc create rmiregistryService binPath ="C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_05\bin\rmiregistry.exe"

and it doesn't work... does anyone have an idea why? Can anyone point me to a working example?

Thanks, vondip

Answer 1

You have a space between binPath and the =

try sc create rmiregistryService binPath= "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_05\bin\rmiregistry.exe" instead

Also, make sure you're running as administrator

Answer 2

This could be because of Security restictions of Vista.

Run This Path on Run Window

Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts

Turn User Account Control on or off

Turn Off This Function

Good Luck
