Installing logFaces server on Vista, Windows 7, Server 2008

One of the highly criticized features in those OS's is the User Account Control(UAC). If you want to use exe installer to set-up logFaces server, you must run the installer with elevated privileges even when your account has admin rights. After downloading the exe file, right click on it and select "run as administrator".

You will be prompted to allow the installer to modify your system. The only modification our installer will do is to register logFaces as a win32 service. If you don't intend running it as a service - don't use the installer. Instead, use neutral distribution, unzip the content and run /bin/run.bat file to start the server. You can register the service manually any time later by running /bin/installservices.bat or its content from command line (again with elevated privileges).
