[SOLVED] Unable to install sabnzbd as a windows service
Posted: December 23rd, 2012, 2:50 am
I've been unable to connect to sab remotely and I think it might be because it's not installed as a service.
I did the following as an administrator on WinXP Pro SP3 to install it as a service and as you can see, it doesn't install, it just jumps to the next prompt. If I attempt to install sabnzbd-helper.exe as a service....it works! Any ideas? I also tried shutting down and restarting sab. Thanks.
