Why am I getting “OpenSCManager failed – Access is denied. (0x5)” errors when I launch Nexus on Windows?
A. Here is how to get around the problem of access denied in vista command prompt. click on start click “All Programs” click on accessories right click on “Command Prompt” icon click “properties” click on the “shortcut” tab on the top click the advanced button at the bottom click on the check box that says “Run as Administrator”. click OK N.B its a good idea to de-select this check box once you finish what you want to do. when you are done click on the same icon that you have changed the properties to start a command prompt session that has no access denied error. Note that if you use Start->run->cmd or Start->run->command you will still get the same access denied error. What you need to do is; click on start click “All programs” click on Accessories click on “Command Prompt” icon the command prompt session that you get will allow you to perform administrator operations See more here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?
