Can't install windows service?

So i am trying to change from python windows to windows service for someone i'm configuring plexconnect for ..

Of course PlexConnect was shutdown. Then installed needed program that fits my computer specs from the link in the wiki. Then opened install bat file and then start. On open of any .bat file i have a command prompt (i think) launching for less then half a second then gone .. And it's not working. At least not starting.

What am i doing wrong?

Please show screens of add/remove for Python and win32py (?) so we can check you have the right dependancy.

Was it working when you start it manually?

Of course it was. I don't understand what screens? You want me to show it's both installed?

From the other stuff on to there i am assuming that Python is the 32 bit version but check (can’t see it in that view). Try starting the bat file from a cmd window rather than double clicking it, if you still get the same edit the bat so it has a “pause” at the end and you should see what the error is.

How do it start in the command prompt?

cd /location/.bat file

and enter?

Take python out of the example bat files:
 
@echo off
 
set InstallerPath=%~dp0
set PlexConnectPath=%InstallerPath%..\..\
 
python "%PlexConnectPath%PlexConnect_WinService.py" install
 
echo PlexConnect-Service installed
 
So it will look like this and save (test by changing file name:)
 
@echo off
 
set InstallerPath=%~dp0
set PlexConnectPath=%InstallerPath%..\..\
 
"%PlexConnectPath%PlexConnect_WinService.py" install
 
echo PlexConnect-Service installed

See if that works for you...
