Just installed MS VS Code. I used this app in the past but recently when trying to open it, it'll open for a brief moment and then close. Uninstalled and re-installed the app. Explored the Component Services administrative tool but I don't know what I'm looking for or what I'm doing.
The machine-default permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239} and APPID {316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97}
to the user Cathy-HP\Cathy SID (S-1-5-21-3585238846-207283309-4272399233-1000) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_1.6.1.52_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h2txyewy SID (S-1-15-2-1861897761-1695161497-2927542615-642690995-327840285-2659745135-2630312742). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

We have written a Windows Service that is planned to be deployed to many or all client windows machines in a company. For technical reasons this service has to be run under the logged in user (i.e. not under LocalSystem or any Service Account).
Furthermore it's a requirement that our software has to be deployed using an installer that requires no user interaction (e.g. silent mode is fully supported).
We now face the problem that we are unable to install our service without having the user to provide it's credentials.
My question now is:
Is it possible somehow either during the installation process or in a start up script of the end user to have a service registered or started up without having to enter the users credentials?
If that is not possible (which I assume): Is it possible to start a process as a regular process and
have it register itself as a service at startup, so it appears in the Services panel?
Any help or idea is appreciated.
When I running my Azure Devops build pipeline for a UWP app locally via a private Windows Agent, it complains that it cannot access C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\App Certification Kit\SupportedAPIs-x86.xml
The agent service is using the default suggested user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE.
So far I tried, without success:
to run the service with my (admin) credential (I'm using an hotmail account to log on my machine) but it doesn't want to (error 1355)
give `Everyone` `Read & Execute` rights on the folder the service is denied access to
I dont know if you're still having this issue but this is what worked for me. Anyone else that finds this can try this out.
I would recommend trying this out as a sanity check, but my issue was permissions.
If you run services.msc and find Azure Pipelines Agent then click
on the service to highlight it.
Right click, go to properties
Navigate to the Log On tab at the top
Change the username and password to a known domain admin account
Click ok and restart the service.
Now run your pipeline again and see if it can connect and publish your files. If it does then its a user/permissions issue.
I have created a windows service.
When I install msi, this service goes to local services, but doesn't start. When i try to start it, it gives this error:
Windows could not start this service on Local computer.
Error 1053: The service didnot respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
One more thing is, that when I install msi as a service, it goes to local services, but doesn't start and gives warning that you don't have privileges to start this service.
Once you have created the service, go to "Services", and find the service you just created.
Right click on the service name, and select Properties. Under Log On, make sure the service is using an account that has permissions to the machine and anything your service needs. The default account is a Local System account, which has access to the following .
Microsoft has a couple of fixes to this problem here and here. They might help you.
I've a website that puts info into a mySQL database and a windows service (written in VB.Net) that polls the db and actions what's in there.
However, occasionally it stalls and rather than having to RDP into the server, I want superusers to click on a button to restart the service.
I can get the button to say, do a directory listing of c:\ output to a test file so the whole 'getting a command to execute on a remote server' issue works. However, I can't restart services.
I assume this is a security thing (although it has full rights to c:\ I thought I'd sussed that already).
The website runs under the normal IUSR_user so am I doing something really stupid or can someone explain how to get the service to be restarted ?
Many thanks
Adrian
I think a significantly bigger problem is that you have a service that's stalling. Do you have any logs or errors that the service outputs to that you could use to diagnose why it's stalling?
I'd write a service that restarts selected services and call that from my website, just for fun!
It seems that you need to give the user permissions on the specific service. The simplest way to do this (in my view) is to use subinacl.exe from the Windows Resource Kit.
subinacl.exe /service MySQL /Grant=IUSR_user
I'm would be very careful when doing this on a public-facing web server. Have both authentication and rate limiting on the restarting code.
Use the ServiceController class:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.serviceprocess.servicecontroller.aspx
This should allow you to connect to the named service and stop/start it.
EDIT:
In addition, you probably need to have your web app impersonate a user with rights to restart the service. This can be accomplished via an identity impersonate in the web.config, or running the web app in a configured application pool in IIS. Keep in mind that the web app will have to run on the same box as the service is running on.
I am using a service controller in a win forms application to start and stop a service which listens to a message queue and processes the messages. I get an access denied error when the service is started from the win forms application.I am using Vista Home Basic and an account which is of type administrator and I have used Log As - Local System Account. The service can be started and stopped normally using the Service Management Console but I get an error when I try to Start the service programatically.Can someone provide some guidance as to how to fix this issue.
Probably you have elevated when opening the services console, but not for your own app.
Add an "Application Manifest File" (that is the name of the template in Visual Studio) and set the requested execution level to "requireAdministrator" (there are comments in the manifest file that will help).
