Problem

Windows Service installer finishes correctly with no reported problems. Still no service appears in Services in Windows.

This happens for version 5.1.

Solution

The Windows Service installer needs a manual step after installation for service to register. Follow this procedure:

  1. Install Windows Service.

  2. Open a command prompt as admin. It is important you start command prompt with admin permission, otherwise installation will fail.

  3. If Windows Service was previously installed, then in Command prompt execute Unregister.bat
    C:\Program Files\Signifikant\Signifikant Service\Unregister.bat

  4. In Command prompt execute Register.bat:
    C:\Program Files\Signifikant\Signifikant Service\Register.bat.

Now the service sould appear in the Services list.
