Problem installing Mongo as a service in windows vista

[mcoolin]

Hi All,

The command line I created for mongo works and I can do a great number
of things.
e.g. "E:\mongodb-win32-i386-1.8.1\bin\mongod.exe" --bind_ip 127.0.0.1
--logpath e:\mongodb\logs --logappend --dbpath e:\mongodb\data --
directoryperdb

But when I try to install mongo as a service I get an error.
"E:\mongodb-win32-i386-1.8.1\bin\mongod.exe" --bind_ip 127.0.0.1 --
logpath e:\mongodb\logs --logappend --dbpath e:\mongodb\data --
directoryperdb --install


Error connecting to the Service Control Manager: Access is denied. (5)

Being new to mongo I searched the forums and found nothing :(

Probably something simple.

Thanks

PS. My 2 cents on mongo, Love it. It needs more samples. Still can't
figure out how to select the fourth value of a Timestamp in a given
collection eg {'ts.i':4}.
Error messages need improvement. Load - needs to report problems more
clearly (it may be there just have not found it.

Still looking for a means to embed mongo into my app on dual servers
using Oracle. It solves some our issues so nicely.

have you tried running from a command prompt as an adminitrator. I get
access denied when running from a normal command prompt on Windows 2k8
R2 but installs fine when running from a command as an administrator.
What version of Windows are you running on?

Sorry missed the title. Are you running vista 64 bit or 32 bit. Are
you still seeing the error if you run as administrator?

32 bit, version.

Works fine once I did it as admin.

Thanks.
