This is a Windows 2000 Server machine. I'm not trying to use the Service Monitor Plugin -- I'm trying to run the program as a service, in the background, rather than as a console application.
I do have it running now, but I'm still trying to figure out what the problem was. The fix was to have it log in as our Domain Administrator account, rather than LocalSystem. What rights would a Domain Administrator have that a default-install LocalSystem account would not? How can I modify the LocalSystem account to have these rights? The current solution can only work for testing purposes. I have also tried it as the local administrator account and with an account I created specifically for testing that I added to the local "Administrators" group. The only way I can get it to start is with the Domain Administrator account. Thanks for your help!
