SC.exe (create) causes the error of access denied

Whenever I run \\servername Sc.exe create binPath SERVICENAME = C:\...exe

I get the following error
[SC] OpenSCManager FAILED 5:
Access is denied.
Any suggestion?

Hi Fmicaeli,

Thanks for posting on the Community Forums of Microsoft Vista.

Have you tried to run the command at the elevated command prompt?

However, you can first try to allow the default administrator on your computer and try to run the command in elevated command prompt and verify if you are able to run the command successfully.

To activate the default Administrator account, follow these steps:

1. Click Start and type CMD in the start search box

2. right click on CMD in the list and click "Run as Administrator"

3. type the following command: net user administrator / Active: Yes

Restart the computer and you should see an "Administrator" account

Access administrator account and follow the steps 1 and 2 and try to run the command.

Also let us know if you are connected to a network or domain.

It will be useful.

Thank you and best regards,

Srinivas

  • Impossible to update of Windows Media Player and Microsoft Security Essentials and the error is "access denied error 80070005."

    Apparently an involuntary change of administrative privileges or permissions (Windows XP Pro, SP3) keeps me updated Media Player version 9 to 11 v. and updated virus Security Essentials definitions.
    For Media Player, wmsetup.log reports access denied error 80070005 and UpdSpAPI.log reports access denied for the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Settings\MP3Encoding\LowRate registry key. In regedt32, I'm blocked from display HKLM\...\MediaPlayer\Settings and below, and "are allowed to view the current permission settings, but... can make a change." Except that I can't. I can enter the change but get «...» Access is denied"trying to apply them. So this is the first problem that I need help.
    But of course it's more than a registry key and the subkeys, because MSE too is affected and will download but not install virus definitions. WindowsUpdate.log reports: failed to install with error 80070643.
    My user account (it's the only one!) is part of the Administrators group and all that I tried to verify administrative permissions is positive. This is a new issue. No virus/malware, according to MSE, Lavasoft Ad-Aware, MalWarebytes Anti-Malware.

    Hi, I started using version 5.0 of Adobe Muse with Windows XP and am almost done with a Web site.  (I know old computer and operating system, but that's another story)

    Now work on the last page, I'm inserting a form that has been problem free.  When you insert a captcha, the only choice I have is a Captcha BC with no option for a recaptcha.  Search through google revealed in order to obtain this, the program must be updated with update of Adobe Muse CC 20141.  Dig further took to this blog that had all the relevant updates I needed.  By clicking on the links then led to an access denied error page.

    http://prodesigntools.com/Adobe-CC-2014-updates-links-Windows.html

    Can you get it someone please let me know if these updates are authentic, and secondly where can I download them?  Adobe updates I have google are mainly bug fixes, no widget updates.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Chris,

    The update that you are trying to download would require an upgrade of your operating system.

    I can't install anything on my PC!

    When I try to install anything, I get the error:

    Error
    ---------------------------
    Setup could not create the directory "C:\Temp\is-27LQO.tmp".
    Error 5: Access is denied.

    no solution I can find online won't work! (the name of the .tmp file changes every time)

    I tried to change my account temporarily in a new folder I created, C:\Temp, same result. I tried as admin, same result, I tried with UAC on and outside, same result. Create a new user on the PC, same result. Check the permissions on the folder (inherited), removed the permissions & re-added, same result. This seems to be an exe that I try to run to install something, it's fine by week or 2 ago.
    Any help appreciated.

    Take a look at the messages that appear in the right-hand side of the screen when you open your thread. They deal with the same issue.

    Give full control permission

    C:\temp folder and

    C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp

    Reason

    Malware blocked your permissions for these two folders (and subfolders)

    Malwarebytes repair this problem.

    These two records are essential to the installation and execution of your programs.

  • Setup failed to create the directory [bonnefin] error 5: access denied

    Hello

    I tried to install some programs (2) on my computer, but an error message shows everytime I open the Setup program. The error message is the following:
    Setup could not create the directory "C\Users\[NAME]~1\AppData\Local\Temp\is-HJF7P.tmp\".
    Error 5: Access denied
    I don't know if it is a problem with Setup (probably not since it happens with both programs) or the user/computer account. Very probably the last. I searched this error and found a few threads, but they were out of date or on the settings for who can access temporary files (which is why I put this topic 'Security, confidentiality and account' by the way I checked and they are the right settings).
    Oh, and I use an acer aspire laptop with Windows 7. There is only one user account on my computer and I think I have administrator permissions.
