Hello, has anyone managed to make calibre-server run as a Windows service on Win7?

Running the command-line mode manually works:

Code:

"c:\Program Files (x86)\Calibre2\calibre-server.exe"

But if I create a service from this using sc:

Code:

sc create calibre binpath= "c:\Program Files (x86)\Calibre2\calibr
e-server.exe" displayname= "Calibre Server" depend= Tcpip start= auto

this works, and I get:

Code:

[SC] CreateService SUCCESS

But, I can't start it.

Code:

sc start calibre

[SC] StartService FAILED 1053:

The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

Any one else have any ideas?

Thanks
