Re: [python-win32] PythonService was unable to locate the service manager

2024-01-11 Thread Mark Hammond
The "" 
part sounds like it is failing to find Python itself. Where is Python 
installed? Is it possible the user running the service can't access that 
location? I believe Python being installed in the default location could 
cause this if the server is running as any other other than the user 
which installed Python.

This issue has happened on each of these version I've tested 
Python3.11, 3.10.10 and 3.10.8.


Currently running Python 3.10.8 64 Bit on Windows Server 2016.

- I've installed pywin32

- Run post_install in the root directory of python310

- Installed the service with install flag

- Attempted to start service with start flag

- PythonService was unable to locate the service manager. Please see 
the event log for details.
