Jchem Web Service "System cannot execute specified prog

When trying to install the Jchem Web Services Windows service, I get this error:

C:\Program Files\ChemAxon\JChem Web Services\bin>JChemWebServices.exe /Service
The system cannot execute the specified program.

I can run the service with the batch file directly, but this is a problem as it does not start automatically after the machine restarts for updates, etc.

System Details:

• Jchem 5.3.4


• Jchem Web Services 5.3.4


• Windows Server 2003 SP2 32bit

Any suggestions?

Hi,

please check, if the logged on user has permission to run that file.
Also please send me a screenshot about the error message in the EventViewer.

Hi Edvard, the user does have premissions.  I'm running as Administrator to set up the service.  The event log has more enlightening details though.  Log messages come in a group of three when I run JchemWebServices.exe:

So it looks like I'm missing some library dependency that wasn't installed with the Web Services package.  Shouldn't the installer have taken care of dependencies?

Hi,

It seems to be something is wrong at your side, JChemWebServices.exe uses just standard ATL libraries.
I attached a new instance of that file, please try to run a test with that. If the error has not been fixed you should try to update your system.

Edvard

That replacement file works! Thanks!

Curiously, the original executable from the install is only 37 KB, while the replacement you gave me is 92 KB.  Could the bad one have been compiled without some necessary headers?

Hi,

We changed the CRT module and rebuilt the application with this.
