I'm also having trouble installing the PDF Creator as a service. I successfully installed it using ANYSERVICEINSTALLER with the Windows Resource toolkit. It does appear in the service list and i can configure to use the appropriate log on credentials. But, it errors out when staring the service and I still have to log in and start the application . It runs fine when i start it at log on with user interaction. But no luck with the service running properly. Once i'm logged into the machine with a user the service also shows that it's running. Any advice on this?
error in the application log for the service:
