Issue installing RavenDb 2.5.2700 as a Windows Service

[David Negron]

I used the MSI installer and from what I can tell everything installed correctly but the error message below was generated upon starting the service. This is a brand new installation on my development computer. I ran into the same issue when I attempted to install it on my production server. As an experiment I installed RavenDB-Unstable-Build-2711 in my development computer and everything worked fine unfortunately I need to be able to deploy this to a production environment eventually.

RavenDB service failed to start because of an error

I'm not sure if this is of any significance but I just tried to install RavenDb 2.5.2700 again after having uninstalled RavenDB-Unstable-Build-2711 and it all seems to be working perfectly now. It's almost as if installing RavenDB-Unstable-Build-2711 somehow knocked loose whatever was preventing RavenDb 2.5.2700 from working.

About the only time you are supposed to see that is when you are moving a database between different versions of the OS.

Thanks for the reply. It seems that I had a previous version of RavenDb 2.0.2230 Windows Service installed on my development workstation that I had forgotten about. When I attempted to install RavenDb 2.5.2700 using the MSI installer it must have caused some sort of conflict even though the previous installation was in a different directory. I think that my uninstalling of the failed installation resolved whatever conflict existed. So perhaps the installation of the unstable build of RavenDb probably didn't matter.
