Thread: Installation as service on Windows Vista

  1. #1

    Installation as service on Windows Vista

    I'm trying to insall it as a service in windows vista (so I can use multiprocessor capabilities without losing results when restarting the computer) but is always giving me an error when running sobsvc -i

    C:\Program Files\SB>sobsvc -i
    Seventeen or Bust service failed to install. Error 5

    How do I install it as a service in vista or how do i set it up to use more than one processor in normal mode (saving all the tests and not just one).

    Ok, found my own answer

    Just create a shortcut to the sobsvc.exe executable, modify the shortcut to add the -i (or whatever parameter you need) and then run the shortcut with the "run as administrator" option.

    Or use the runas command in CMD.
    - windowskey+r, cmd, enter
    if SB is installed in c:\program files\SB, type:
    - cd c:\program files\SB
    then use the runas command to execute sobsvc.exe -i
    - runas /user:administrator@%COMPUTERNAME% sobsvc.exe -i
