Why? That is not how you install the cron service. There is much more to be done, in fact there is a cron-config script provided (that is nearly 900 lines of shell code) to do all the various tasks. Specifically, on windows 2003 you must create a special service account and give it extra privileges as the SYSTEM account cannot change uids. So erase this broken service and run cron-config instead. If that still fails then run cron_diagnose.sh and attach its results.
