Great. Glad that worked for you. Win Services are extremely finicky and there is really no good way to debug them. Services run under the administrator account so they don't neccesarily have the same path as a user. So you have to absolute path everything.

I forgot that sc isn't a common utility. I used to use it all the time when telnetted to a windows box. It was the only decent way to remotely control services.

Anyway, glad I could help.
