limited number of services?

[Stealth]

this is probably more of a windopws problem than tcadmin

 

 

 

we have quite a few services installed on one xp machine (thanks ventrilo) but when we try to create more tcadmin adds the details to the database, unpacks the rar etc but the service doesnt get installed into windows ... if i remove a few services and try adding others again it will add the services without a problem until suddenly it wont work

 

 

 

does xp have some sort of limit on the number of services you can configure?

How many services do you have on that machine (total)? I'll try to replicate it on a free Win2k3 box I have, but XP might have a different setup in that regard...

First I have heard of it. Must be something with XP?

I have no idea either as I only use 2003 Server. I have never even considered using a desktop OS for a server.

i agree with you there guys i have xp pro on one machine and it runs like a tank i suggest get a copy of 2k3 definatly its not worth the hassle with a pile of doggy like pro for running game servers or anything else part from home use

all are 2003 except this one, dont ask why :S

 

reinstall isnt an option sadly, so no ideas?

 

 

 

google doesnt chuck anything back either

Anything errorwise showing in the TCAdmin logs?

[DougK94]

Or in event viewer logs?

How many services do you have on that box total? Like go into Services MMC and count them. It could be that they used a single byte integer to store the ID's which means you have 128 (if signed) or 256 (if unsigned) available, or it could be more... I am just trying to see if there is something that looks like that, or if it just stops at like 300 services for no "technical" reason.
