Description Kevin Pearsall 2005-08-11 11:48:27 UTC

I've gotten quite a few calls about this recently.  Going in later and running
'slim.exe -install' works fine, but during installation it seems to fail fairly
often.

Still gathering information about what spyware/internet
security/security/antivirus/firewall software folks might have to start making
correlations, though...

Kevin, does that email about admin privileges that I sent you earlier today apply here?

Comment 2 Kevin Pearsall 2005-10-06 15:49:02 UTC

yes, admin priveleges does apply, but i still have not been able to reproduce
this issue otherwise.

most of the time this happens, the user DOES have admin priveleges...

many users reporting this today!

Comment 4 Blackketter Dean 2005-11-03 15:10:22 UTC

tonight's nightly should address this, at least in part, by trying to install the service, if it fails, try again, 
and if it fails again, show a warning.  I'm going to close the bug, please reopen if you get another case 
with the new builds and note any error messages that you may see.
