How to install Servoy as service on Windows 8.1?

[Westy]

I have a Windows 8.1 computer running Servoy Developer 6.0.8 with no problem. The Developer install was made to c:\Servoy. Postgres is running as a Service. Now I would like to also run the Servoy Application Server as a service.

Clicking the "Install service.bat" file does not install the service. Are there special instructions for installing Servoy Applicaton
Server as a service on Windows 8.1?

Hi Dean,

maybe you don't have admin privileges.
And I have experienced, even if you do Windows just doesn't think that way...

Try starting a command-console as Administrator (right-click the shortcut and choose Run as Administrator), you could also try to do the same with the batch file, but as I like the feedback you will get in a command-console window I only use that to install Servoy.

Hi Marc,

That was perfect.

I had been right-clicking but there was no longer an option to open as administrator. After your suggestion, I right-clicked the Start button and noticed that there are now "Command Prompt" and "Command Prompt (Admin)" options listed. I clicked the admin version and executed the install service.bat file. The service was installed instantly.

Thank you very much for aiming me in the right direction.
