I am trying to run a driver I created as a service. I managed to create a service out of the driver (using "sc.exe create ..."): The service now appears in the registry (under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/services/mydriver). However the service cannot be started! When I use net start [myservice], I get the following output:
error 1275: This driver has been blocked from loading
One thing looked suspicious to me: The entry in the registry for my driver: The value of "ImagePath" was "\??[correct path]". I manually removed the "\??\" so that the correct path was left. However it did not solve the problem, instead I got an other error message (Error 123: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect).
By searching on the internet, I found out that this error 1275 indicates that a key in the registry is missing or corrupted. This makes sense as I modified it manually, so the value of "ImagePath" is probably corrupted. However I don't see anything wrong with the value I entered:
"C:\ledrivertest\driver1\bin\hello.sys"
Is there some kind of special syntax for the path of a driver binary which I don't know about?
I use Windows 7.
Thanks in advance
Since you are running on a 64 bit system, and you haven't signed the driver, the most likely explanation for error 1275 is that Windows blocked the driver due to it being unsigned.

does anyone know if this is possible?
All I can find in docs is reference to enabling docker experimental features, but not the kubernetes experimental features.
I tried this, but still get error.

I had the same intent (as have others in this feature request). After several hours of trial and error, I finally found out a way to do so.
Steps:
Depending on which file you're trying to edit, you may need to fully shut down Docker Desktop, and restart WSL. (right-click tray-icon and press "Quit Docker Desktop", then run wsl --shutdown, then run wsl)
Open the [...]/kubeadm/manifests folder, in the Docker filesystem.
On Windows, navigate Windows Explorer to:
For Docker Desktop 4.2.0: \\wsl$\docker-desktop-data\version-pack-data\community\kubeadm\manifests
For Docker Desktop 4.11.0: \\wsl$\docker-desktop-data\data\kubeadm\manifests
Open the kube-controller-manager.yaml, kube-apiserver.yaml, and kube-scheduler.yaml files, adding the line below:
spec:
containers:
- command:
[...]
- --feature-gates=EphemeralContainers=true <-- add this line
Start Docker Desktop again.
It looks so easy when its already figured out, huh? Well trust me, it was a pain to find out.
Some of the slowdowns I hit:
It took me quite a while to even find those manifest files. (eventually found it using grepWin, searching through the whole \\wsl$\docker-desktop-data folder for any matches of a line I grabbed from the kube-apiserver-docker-desktop pod's config, which I viewed using Lens)
Once I found it, I got confused by this documentation. When I read FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.22 [alpha], I thought that meant you needed version 1.22 or higher of Kubernetes for the feature to be available. This caused a huge wild goose chase where I tried to change the version of Kubernetes that was being launched in Docker Desktop, which Docker Desktop didn't seem to like. (in retrospect, the issue may have just been the minor one in point 3 below...)
When I first made changes to the manifest files, I was using Notepad++. And despite my liking Notepad++, it's apparently not quite as smart as vscode in the following regard: it does not automatically detect the indentation type for yaml files. Thus, when I pressed tab to create an indent, so I could add the new flag to the argument list, it added it as a tab character rather than spaces. This caused Kubernetes to fail reading of the file. That might not be so bad if Kubernetes gave a sane error message for that, but instead it merely gave the message unexpected EOF. And I didn't even see that error message at first because it was not being propagated to the kube-controller-manager-docker-desktop pod (which was the only relevant one that wasn't immediately erroring/closing). Anyway, I didn't realize this was the problem at the time, so...
I decided to try bypassing the manifest-files and applying my modification to the etcd data-store directly. In retrospect, this was not a good idea, because the etcd data-store is pretty complex, the tooling is substandard, and the documentation is substandard. I spent a ton of time just trying to figure out how to send commands to read and write data to it (eventually managed to do so by calling etcdctl within the etcd-docker-desktop pod). I spent further time still writing up a NodeJS script capable of reading all the data as JSON, storing it in a dump file, and being able to write changes to entries back despite there being 3+ levels of quoting involved (I eventually was able to use stdin to pass the value rather than as part of the command string, to avoid quotation-mark-inception). After all the work on etcd reading/writing above, I found it didn't work anyway because Kubernetes invariably "breaks" if anyone else writes to its etcd data-store. (even if you write the exact same value that had been there before -- as verified by comparing the dumps before and after)
After all of the above, I decided to have one last go with just adding the flags to mentioned manifest files. Was still getting the startup failure/error, but at the very end, I decided I wanted to see exactly what about my changes was causing Kubernetes to reject them. So I tried commenting out my added line; the error remained. I thought maybe it was a checksum-based rejection then. But then I thought, maybe the YAML parser that Kubernetes is using is just outdated and is finicky about what comments it is able to recognize. So I tried moving the comment around to different places, and was puzzled when the manifest was being accepted just by moving the comment to the root level. I moved it back to various locations, with it working and not working, until I thought to try making the line "half-indented" since it's "in-between" the working and non-working versions. That's when I noticed the line had a tab as its indent. And then it hit me; are the other lines also using tabs? I checked, and nope, they were using spaces. And that's when I realized I had wasted the last few hours on something I coulda just fixed with a simple indent change.
The moral of the story for some is that YAML is a bad configuration format, because it makes it easy to make trivial errors like this. But I actually place the blame more on whatever parser Kubernetes is using for the YAML files; it is unacceptable that a YAML parser would encounter an indentation mismatch and give a message so generic as unexpected EOF. I don't know what the identity of that YAML parser is, but I'm tired enough of the subject that I'm not even going to look into it right now. If one of you finds it, please make an issue report for it -- perhaps including this story as a real-world example of the pain that ambiguous error messages can cause.
Since Ephemeral Containers is still an alpha feature, it is disabled by default.
As you can read here, for this to work, it requires the EphemeralContainers feature gate to be enabled, and Kubernetes client and server version v1.16 or later.
As to the 2nd requirement I assume both your Kuberntes server and client versions are v1.16 or later but it looks like, for the time being, the 1st requirement cannot be met on Docker Desktop. According to this issue, it currently doesn't support enabling Feature Gates.
However you may still try to ssh to your master node and edit the following files:
/etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml
/etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml
by adding inside the command section:
--feature-gates=EphemeralContainers=true
Then you need to delete those pods so they are recreated with new settings applied. You'll find them by running:
kubectl get pods -n kube-system
Our users upgraded from Windows 7 to 10.
When they try to print using a custom print driver they get this error
The document Print Document, owned by User, failed to print on printer TEST-PRINT. Try to print the document again, or restart the print spooler.
Data type: NT EMF 1.008. Size of the spool file in bytes: 628788. Number of bytes printed: 12900. Total number of pages in the document: 6. Number of pages printed: 0.
Client computer: Devcomp. Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 2147500037. Unspecified error
Some of my observations: Internally we cannot reproduce this error internally. I have a windows 10 surface and also tried on a windows 8 machine. Our support tried it here too.
The customer can reproduce the issue without. The issue happens for some documents on some workstations. The PDF is generated from a 3rd party application for tellers. The customer saves the pdf from this signature desktop application to a PDF and uses our print driver to print to the our application.
Our print driver converts the file to PCL and sends it to the subscriber for further processing.
I can provide more info if needed regarding print driver. First of is it a problem with the print driver?
All the users who upgraded from windows 7 to a windows 10 laptop can see the issue happening. There are some windows 10 workstations that print just fine. Could it be something with the group policy or some registry settings. If I were to compare the registry or policies on the workstation that prints and the one that fails what would be the settings I need to look for? The customer's IT says that there is no difference between the two workstations except that it’s the production workstation that fails. Typical response nothing different but it doesn't work.
We also tried to disable “render print jobs on the client workstation” but this didn’t seem to make difference. I am happy to try any suggestions you’ll have.
I am looking for ideas of what kind of research and where should I start troubleshooting.
I won't be troubled if anyone chooses to vote the question down that I didn't do any research since I really don't know where to start. I am a .NET developer not a windows driver expert or systems admin.
Process Monitor Good File. The file gets created.
Create file success, create file name not found and finally create file succcess
Bad File: Create file success, create file name not found. The last create file is not called by the print.exe driver.
This solved my problem. Thanks Papercut!.

I have a Windows 2012 R2 server and I managed to install the SonarQube 5.4 server as a Windows Service. I also set up a user so the service can actually start without the infamous "It started then stopped" error a lot of people seem to get. Before installing the server as a windows service, I checked that it worked using StartSonar.bat and it did work just fine, so I was confident when I made it into a service.
But when I try to access http://localhost:9000 there is nothing there, and it appears that shortly after starting the service it stops without any message at all. I can't tell if this is because I try to access the site (which gives me ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSEin Google Chrome) or if it just closes down after a short while.
Anyone got any insight?
I'm a beginner. I came across the same issue and fixed it.
Ensure that the database is running.
My log file (located at sonarqube_home_dir/logs/sonar.log) included the following statement.
Caused by: org.h2.jdbc.JdbcSQLException: Wrong user name or password [28000-176]
Since I'm using the default database, I commented below lines
#sonar.jdbc.username=***
#sonar.jdbc.password=***
at sonarqube_home_dir/conf/sonar.properties.
This must happen due to many reasons like connection problems, permission problems so First, you have to see the logs. /sonarqube-7.6/logs$ tailf sonar.log. then you can find the reason. Once I had the same problem so I did like that. my error is something Directory does not exist: lib/jdbc/mysql
org.sonar.process.MessageException: Directory does not exist: lib/jdbc/mysql reason is I uninstall MySQL and remove all folders name contains "MySQL".
just check whether port 9001 already in used, stop it if already in used.
Could anyone tell me how to verify whether my data is reaching the specified location or not??I am able to issue the command successfully but unable to see the data...i am trying to move my data from local disk to a file in the local disk itself.i am using the following configuration -
host : text("/home/hadoop/file1.txt") | agentSink("localhost",35853);
node2 : collectorSource(35853) | collectorSink("file:///home/hadoop/","file2.txt");
it's hard to tell exactly:
make sure port 35853 is open
I guess node2 is on the same machine as the agent (cause you configured the agent to localhost)
I'd change the agentSink to console (temporarily) just to make sure the file reading is woking properly
use apache-flume users mailing list :-) I found them very responsive and helpful
I have a windows service that is failing to start, giving an error "Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion".
Running the service in my debugger works fine, and if I double click on the the service .exe on the remote machine a console window pops up and continues to run without problem - I can even see log messages showing me that the program is processing everything the way it should be.
The service had been running fine previously, though this is my first time, personally, trying to deploy it with the most recent changes made to the program. I've evaluated those changes and cant figure out how they might cause this problem, particuarly since everything runs fine when not started as a service.
The StartRoutine() method of the service impelmentation is empty, so should be returning in a "timely fashion".
I've checked the event logs on the computer, and it doesn't give any additional information other than it didn't hear back from the service in the 30 second requisite time frame.
Since it works on my machine, and as a double-clicked executable, how would I go about figuring out why it fails as a service?
Oh, and it's .NET 2.0, so it shouldn't be affected by the 1.1 framework bug that exhibited this symptom (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/839174)
The box is a windows server 2003 R2 machine running SP2.
This is a misleading error. It's probably an unhandled exception.
Empty your OnStart() handler then try this in your constructor...
public MainService()
{
InitializeComponent();
try
{
// All your initialization code goes here.
// For instance, my exception was caused by the lack of registry permissions
;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
EventLog.WriteEntry("Application", ex.ToString(), EventLogEntryType.Error);
}
}
Now check the EventLog on your system for your Application Error.
Could be a number of things and it might help to get a stack trace on the machine exhibiting the problem. There are a number of ways to do this but the point is that you have to see where this is failing in the code.
You can do this with remote debugging, but a simple thing might be to just log to the event logger, or file log if you have that. Literally, putting "WriteLine("At class::function()") throughout portions of the code to see if you've made it there.
This will at least get you looking in the right direction (which ultimately is the code).
Update:
See Microsoft's How to Debug Windows Services article for details in troubleshooting startup problems using WinDbg.
This related question details nice ways to debug services that are written in .NET.
I agree with Scott, the easiest way to find out what's happening is to put some traces in the start-up code (maybe it doesn't even come to your start-up code).
If this doesn't help, you can post your code here so others can take a look.
perhaps lacking some dependence, try this :
- deregister your service
- register again
If fail at register means that lack an module.
If the StartRoutine is empty, you are probably starting it somewhere else.
IIRC you need to fire off a worker thread, and then return from StartRoutine.
One of the problems which may lead to this error is if windows service which needs to be deployed consists of some error i.e it may be simple authorization error or anything as in my case I have referenced some folders and files for logging which were not existing, but when provided the right path of those file and folders it solved my problem.
I ran through every post on this particular subject and none of the responses solved the problem, so I'm adding this response in case this helps someone else. Admittedly this only applies to a new service, not this specific case.
I was writing a File listening service. As a console app, it worked perfectly. When I ran it as a service, I got the same error as above. What I didn't know (and many of the MSDN articles about services conveniently leave out) is that you need to have your class executed from within ServiceBase.Run( YourClassName());. Otherwise, your app executes and immediately terminates and because it terminated, you get the error above even if no error or exception occurred. Here is a link to an article about this. It actually discusses setting up your app for dual use - Console app and service: Create a combo command line / Windows service app
I had that issue and the source of my problem was config file. I edited it in notepad and notepad added one special character which cause service not to run properly because config file was ruined. I saw that special character in notepadd++ and after delete it, service started to run successfully as previous did.
In my case, the correct .NET framework was not installed on the server that I was installing the Windows service on.
One other reason is If you copy the DLL in 'debug' mode to installation folder this issue will come.What you need to do is Run the project in 'Release' mode copy the DLL or directly form Release folder rather than Debug folder,,and copy that DLL in to installation folder,it will work.You can see the reduction in size of DLL ,it will not contain any debug symbols and like that
