wrapper | OpenSCManager failed - Access is denied. (0x5)

archiva

Solution

You need to run that command as an administrator.

- Right-click on the command prompt entry in the start menu / task bar

- Select "Run as Administrator"

- Navigate to the Archiva installation directory

Then run:

bin\archiva install
net start archiva

Problem

I am trying to install Archiva on windows 8.1 pro (64 bit) and I am continuously getting the same error as below wrapper | OpenSCManager failed - Access is denied. (0x5). I logged in as administrator only. But still I am getting the same error. Most of the answers for the same problem I am seeing it for VISTA and 7 etc.. But not for Windows8.1 Pro (64 bit)
