Code = 5 error on XPx64 multi-core

Hi chaps.

We have a member over on the AMD Users forum getting a neat little error message "Code = 5" when trying to start the sobsvc after following the instructions.

We have checked against "Code = 4", tick boxes are ok.

Can you shed more light on "Code = 5" and how our member might resolve this issue?

Thanks.

AMDave

but if they check the GUI it might have autostart on Windows boot or something similar and this messes with the service.

Oops that's maybe a code=4 error. Sorry

Hi Fozzie.

Thanks for the reply.
You are right that would be a "Code = 4"
We checked for that and eliminated it.

Also checked file paths, still no dice.

We really need to know what a "Code = 5" means.

I can't find any record of a SoB client "Code = 5" and I don't recall ever seeing it myself, either.

If there is there a CVS or SVN that I can check the code from I could locate the answer myself, but I am not aware of that being available. (?)

I'm hoping IB or JoeO et al. can shed some light on this one.

AMDave

Try pm'ing or e-mailing alien88 he is the code guru

Is he by chance running Vista? Error 5 shows up trying to rub sobsvc on Vista. http://www.free-dc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=12518

Not vista. It is WinXP_64.
The error code is the same as in that thread, but it is past the service install and failing when attempting to start the service.

when you go into the directory from where you ran sobsvc -i type
sobsvc -d and post details.

Thanks IB.
We have already been through those steps and compared notes.
Nothing informative came from the exercise, though.
I have PM'd alien88 for more info on the "Code = 5" condition.
