[ome-users] Installation under Windows server 2008

[Anatole Chessel]

Dear all,

   I seem to encounter problems trying to install an omero server under 
windows server 2008.

   First I run into the 'pywintypes.error: (5, 'OpenSCManager', 'Access 
is denied.')' error signaled elsewhere 
(http://www.openmicroscopy.org/community/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=586). I 
managed to get pass that by running the prompt as administrator 
(right-click->run as administrator) (which seems to be different from 
running it from an administrator account, more like a sudo I guess). If 
somebody have a better solution, it might be what cause the errors below...

   I think I have all the prerequisites right, however the server fail 
to start properly... Two logs are attached, I am not sure what to make 
of them; below is the result of the 'start' and 'diagnostics' commands.

   I looked for info on omero on windows server 2008 but could not find 
anything special; is anybody running it? Is there any plan for an 
'official' support? Last question, it seems omero.fs is not running (W. 
server 2008 is recognized as Vista, which does not support that 
feature); are there any plan for that? I guess I certainly would not be 
against (to say the least) running a linux server, but I may have to 
stick to windows for this one...

Thank you very much for your help...
