All, Can anyone explain to me why srvany is installed as a service? I have never done that and snort (and everything else I have ever installed as a service) has worked. The line INSTSRV SrvAny "c:\winnt\srvany.exe" seems unnecessary.... With regards to the below problem, hopefully you checked all your command line parameters in the registry.....??

documentation on this notes no " " around commands on the command line

Typed INSTSRV snort "C:\Winnt\srvany.exe" Install was noted as successful 5.Tryed to start the service in the Service Manager from the Admin tools Returned the "splash screen" something to the effect that the service did NOT return and error but that something might be wrong in Windows and if it persists please contact your Sys admin. (Hell, I am the sys Admin, have not seen this before though) When I did this EXACTLY the same for Snort 1_7 it worked great. I can also run snort from the command line shell with out any problems (c:\snort\bin>snort "c:\snort\bin\snort.conf" -l "c:\snort\logs" -i1) Works to Mysql populating the tables and
