Hi,
So we’re trying to automate installation of the Tentacle using a combination of Powershell Remoting to create a scheduled task and then executing a Powershell script that configures the Tentacle.
We’re doing it this way due to the user profile / certificate issue using Powershell Remoting although we’ve encountered the same error when executing the commands via a Powershell Remoting session directly.
The error is…
Cannot start service from the command line or a debugger. A Windows Service must first be installed (using installutil.exe) and then started with the ServerExplorer, Windows Services Administrative tool or the NET START command.
I can’t see any reason why it’s happening - if we run the Tentacle configuration from an interactive command prompt it works fine.
Any ideas what we’re tripping up on here? Edit: We’re installing Octopus Tentacle v2.0.13.1100
Thanks,
Dean
