Trying to get the QuickPDFTCPxxx.exe service installed on users computer using our deployment software.  If I use the default settings used here >> http://www.advancedinstaller.com/services-screen-shot.html - http://www.advancedinstaller.com/services-screen-shot.html   It gives me an error "Error 1920. Service QuickPDFTCP0715.exe failed to start . Verify that you have sufficient priviledges to start system services".
 
What am I missing? How do I install and start the TCP Service silently.
 
If I run the command QuickPDFTCP0715.exe /install manually it works fine. Then can start the it using Net start QuickPDFTCP0715.exe. Want to install and start it as part of the regular windows installer when my app gets installed.

Sorry I cant be of more help than this but I have never used the service you are referring to however I have spent more time writing code to auto install services than I care to. The "typical" problem is that the information being used is not correct such as:
Service Name
Display Name
Service EXE Path & Name
I have found it most useful to always specify the entire path to the location of the exe name wherever you are copying it to on the clients machine.
 
If you are not sure what the values should be you can install it manually on your machine using the /install parameter as you mentioned before. Then open your windows services window and locate the service and right-click it and select Properties. On the General Tab it should show you exactly what to use as the Service Name, etc...
If you just happened to be using Delphi to write your code and you need help with that end of it let me know and I can send you some code.

Figured out the problem.
 
The service name has to be QuickPDFTCPService0715, Display name: Quick

PDF Library TCP/IP Service 7.15 and Description can be anything. Once I

set these parameters it works fine. Windows Installer is able to install and start it too.

 
You would think the errors would've told me that :o) found it by trial and error.
