Setting up duplicati-2.0.3.3_beta as a Service Problem

2

It sounds like you’re the third Windows 7 user to run into this error, (though the others were on 2.0.2.1 and 2.0.2.14):

I have a few questions that might help narrow things down:

  • Is there any useful info in the referenced C:\Program Files\Duplicati 2\Duplicati.WindowsService.InstallLog file?

  • Did you get to 2.0.3.3 via an install (like from a .exe or .msi file) or a GUI based update from an earlier version?

  • Are you running any antivirus tools that might be blocking or otherwise “sandboxing” Duplicati?

You shouldn’t need to change command line at all - what you’ve posted above looks right to me.

And I haven’t heard of this anywhere else (just 3 Windows 7 mentions) so my guess is it should work fine on your Windows 10 machines - UNLESS the cause of the issue is something outside of Duplicati (like antivirus tools).

(By the way, I edited your post by adding “~~~” before / after the messages and using “`” around the command lines.)
