    Default Can't Start Media Server Service From Mezzmo

    Hi,
    I can't seem to start the media server service from within the gui it fails with
    "Could not access the Mezzmo media server service Error code: 5"
    I can start it from within the services.msc, it also won't start on boot and I have to manually start it too.
    I am running a registered version 2.2.0.0
    Thanks
    Neil

    Is the service set to "automatic" in the startup type? If not, Mezzmo may not be able to command the service to start.

    Any errors in Windows Eventlogs?
    If the Error code 5 is a general Windows Error Message it means "Access is denied".

    Hi,
    No it doesn't report anything to event logs at all (failing to start/stop)

    Hi.
    From what I can see there is some sort of "helper executable" MezzmoSetService.exe involved when starting the Mezzmo Service from within the Mezzmo GUI.
    It's not used when starting/stopping it from the services.msc.

    Sorry if this sounds like a stupid curiosity, but you didn't happen to enter the wrong windows username and/or password when installing Mezzmo, did you? I believe this is required for Mezzmo to have proper user account control to allow it to start/stop the windows service.
