Problem manually installing LMS as a service

[Philip Meyer]

Ooops, I've done something stupid, and wondering if someone could assist...

I have configured my own Service to use SrvAny.exe on Windows 7 to run the Perl source.

I had previously done this in WinXP, so I exported the registry section, tweaked the .reg file a bit, and imported it into a new Windows 7 installation.

My LMS service is working fine, but another service "Intel(R) Management and Security Application User Notification Service" is now listed as being dependent on it. Every time I try to stop/restart the LMS service, it wants to stop this other Windows service.

Damn! Should have checked before importing the registry file. I didn't realise that there was already a Windows 7 OS Service called "LMS". It appears that I ha've overwritten the properties of this Windows service.

Could someone with a Windows 7 64 bit OS, please export the registry for "\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\serv ices\LMS", so that I can delete my current properties and re-import to restore the OS standard properties.

Future warning for others installing their own LogitechMediaService - don't call your service "LMS"!

Thanks,
Phil

My Win7 Ultimate 64b box has no stock "LMS" service and neither does my Win7 Home Premium 64b laptop. I think the LMS service you're seeing there might have been installed by some Intel package you added to your Win7 installation. I'm basing this on:

I'm betting that you could get your Intel LMS service back by uninstalling and then reinstalling these:

LMSGitCodeSvc?

Would you be willing to share your working SrvAny REG and save the rest of us a few minutes?

Sorry. My link to the Intel download was for linux. Here's a Windows link:

Thanks for the pointer.

I found it was an Intel Driver, which I installed at the time I installed Win7, called "Intel Management Engine Interface". I uninstalled it, ensured the LMS Service registry entries were fully removed, and re-installed the Intel drivers.

I have installed the LMS service now as "Logitech Media Service". My .reg file looks like this:
