One of our production NT4SP2 servers doesn't want to start services from
the c:\Program Files folder any more. It was running fine (with several
important services running from that folder), I was
installing/experimenting with Arcserve and Netscape News server and after a
restart it happened. The error message I get when starting any of these
services:
Error 0193: %1 is not a valid Windows NT application
If I go into the registry and change the path of the service to "c:\Program
Files\...", then it works (or I can change them to c:\program~1\... as
well). But it did work before without the ""-s and it works on other
servers. What could cause this? I was researching this for several days and
have no idea. I tried to compare registries and looking at mskb, without
success. I even tried installing a new service into Program Files and it
doesn't work either (ONLY on this server!).
(Sorry for this repost from another list, but I got no solution there.)
Thanks:
