The error message always says "verify that you have .. privileges...", and sometimes that is the error, but error 1920 is just a generic one meaning that the service start failed. If it starts ok after the install, then it smells like a dependency issue with something that isn't on the system at StartServices time.

I even tried giving myself the 'act as part of the os' right, and I still apparently don't have "sufficient privileges to start system services", and neither does local system.... I was thinking maybe my install wasn't running with enough priviliges, but I have set the [EMAIL PROTECTED]"elevated". So.. I'm not sure whats wrong..... :( thanks!
