If you start SABnzbd in daemon mode (-d), you must use the -f parameter, because it will not look for the INI file in the user profile.
Without an INI file, the Wizard will trigger.
I suspect the problem is exclusive for Windows, that's why I have already patched Cheetah on the build image.

So why does it only happen when you try to run sabnzbd as a Service and not when you run it normally?
I have no Windows, so I can't verify with you.
Question:
Can you run SABnzbd from the terminal (so not as a service), with the same settings as the Service? Does that work?
If so, as soon as you SABnzbd as a service, you get the mentioned error?

If Yes and Yes, then I see something weird in the traceback: 'File "sabnzbd\wizard.pyo",', meaning SAB is starting the wizard. SAB only starts the wizard if it can't find an INI file...
yeah, sorry if it wasn't clear in the first post. it seems to run fine normally, the error only happens when running as a service. I didn't test it much as I needed it to run as a service
