Sabnzbd 0.6.0 Beta4 "The service name is invalid"

Hi,
I am trying to install SABnzbd as service on WHS. I have installed SABHelper as service and started it as service but I don't see SABnzbdservice.
When I try: net start SABnzbd I get always: "The service name is invalid. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2185"
When I do that this is the explanation:
"You tried to start a service that is not configured on this system.
ACTION:
"Check the spelling of the service name or check the configuration information for the service using the Service option from Server Manager."
With 0.6.0 Beta2 it was the same error....
What to do?

Do you see the SABnzbd service in the Windows Service Manager?
Did you install it using this procedure?

I see only SABnzbd Helper service running. I don't see SABnzbd service in Windows Service Manager.
I installed it as follows:
SABnzbd-service.exe -f C:\Program Files\SABnzbd install
also did
SABnzbd-service.exe -f C:\Program Files\SABnzbd update
but net start SABnzbd give me above error.
Am I doing something wrong?
[edit]
I also have added C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd-service.exe (as program) to Windows Firewall under exceptions.

Since your path has a space in it, you need to quote the path:
Code: Select all
SABnzbd-service.exe -f "C:\Program Files\SABnzbd" install
Otherwise, "C:\Program" and "Files\Sabnzbd" are two separate arguments. That is definitely an issue, although I don't know if that would keep the service from registering.

Thank you, now service is installed but Startup type for SABnabd Helper and SABnzbd Binary Newsreader is Manual. Do I need to set this type for both to Automatic?

Yes.
Strictly speaking you only need to set SABnzbd to automatic,
because it depends on SABHelper (which will be auto-started because of that).

Super, I will try it.
It should also be fine if you can devolop add-in for Windows Home Server. Can we expect this in the near future?

Not sure. WHS-1 is approaching end-of-life and personally I have no interest at all for WHS-Vail.
So any volunteers?
