Installing Windows App (.exe) as a service in Vista

I have a few apps (windows .exe files) that worked fine in XP when installed
them to run as windows services. When I try to install the same programs to
run as services (using command line and typing appname.exe -install) in
Vista, I get the following error message: appname failed - Access is
denied. (0x5).

Any help / ideas is appreciated.

Thanks.

are you using the command line as administrator? Try doing a runas against
Command Prompt from the Start Menu to see if that helps.
