Windows Service Error: Installog access is Denied

Solution 1

do you have administrator rights ? Try to run the service setup by launching the command prompt as administartor.

Solution 2

Try running from a different directory (eg %TEMP%)- it just needs access to write the log file to the current directory, and by default non-administrators can't write to {{c:\Windows}} subdirectories.

eg:

cd %TEMP%
"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\installutil.exe" "C:\Hive-WindowsService\HiveBatchProcess\HiveBatchProcess\bin\Debug\HiveBatchProcess.exe" -i

Depending on what the install logic in HiveBatchProcess.exe does, you may or may not need additional permissions (eg registry access, write access to other directories, etc). But running installutil.exe does not strictly require administrator permissions.

Solution 3

cd "%temp%" then "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\installutil.exe" "\ourServiceexe.exe"

i changed the service password to admin password of the server

I get following error while installing my Windows service through Command prompt

Access to the path 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\InstallUtil.In stallLog' is denied.

I am using following command:
```
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727>installutil.exe "C:\Hive-WindowsService\HiveBatchProcess\HiveBatchProcess\bin\Debug\HiveBatchProcess.exe" -i
```
What could be wrong?

  Either of these would work. Just make sure you run the command prompt elevated (right click -> run as administrator).

Running installutil.exe does not absolutely require administrator permissions. It just hooks into the install code in the executable being installed - so the permissions required depend on that executable. The error message specified in the question is just about permissions to create the log file, which does not require running as administrator. See my answer below...

I had to run Powershell as an Administrator and then installed the service.
