SABnzbd Forums

I am following the instructions here: /wiki/advanced/sabnzbd-as-a-windows-service (can't post the link)

I am not able to run the first command, when I run the following: SABnzbd-console.exe -f "%localappdata%\sabnzbd\sabnzbd.ini" install

I get "For service support, use SABnzbd-service.exe"

So, I run this instead: SABnzbd-service.exe -f "%localappdata%\sabnzbd\sabnzbd.ini" install

Which then tells me it's installing service SABnzbd, changing service configuration and service updated. It then says "Don't forget to install the Service SABnzbd-helper.exe too!"

If I continue with the documentation and run: sc config SABnzbd start= auto

It tells me: [SC] ChangeServiceConfig SUCCESS

The last line, I enter: net start SABnzbd

Though, that returns: System error 1075 has occurred. The dependency service does not exist or have been marked for deletion."


Here is the problem I am trying to solve. When I reboot my PC, I just want SABnzbd to automatically boot up and do it's thing. Though following the guide to do so it not working how it's describing. Is this article out of date?

No, you are not using the right Sabnzbd version. You are using a v2.
Please update first and then follow the guide.

Also, during the installation wizard you can also select it to run automatically. Only then it will just start after you login, instead of before that.
