sc create command is not working

[Sudarshan Panke]

Hi, I am using following command to run,

mksdfs --volume-name=sdfs_vol1 --volume-capacity=50GB

mountsdfs -v sdfs_vol1 -m E

above two commands run successfully but below command is not working.

sc create sdfse binPath="\"C:\Program Files\sdfs\mountsdfs.exe\" -v sdfs_vol1 -m E -cp" DisplayName="SDFS E Drive" start=auto

It's saying

PS C:\Windows\system32> sc create sdfse binPath="\"C:\Program Files\sdfs\mountsdfs.exe\" -v sdfs -m e -cp" DisplayName=" SDFS E Drive" start=auto Set-Content : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'binPath=\C:\Program'.

Hi Sudarshan,

I suppose the quoting is wrong in the example found on the web site.

Can you try this line instead:

SC CREATE sdfsE binPath="C:\Program Files\sdfs\mountsdfs.exe -v sdfs_vol1 -m E -cp" DisplayName="SDFS E Drive" start=auto

Please give feedback if this works OK, because then we should notify odd's webmaster asking for change!

Kind regards,
Thomas

The syntax for the Windows "sc" command is weird.  you must add a space after the "binpath= " option as well as all the others.

Try this:

sc create sdfse binPath= "\"C:\Program Files\sdfs\mountsdfs.exe\" -v sdfs_vol1 -m E -cp" DisplayName= "SDFS E Drive" start= auto
