Forum: Mongrel Win32 access denied

Using the Win32 HOWTO information, I am attempting to start the service.
upon the service::install command, I receiving the error 'Access is
denied. (Win32::ServiceError).

The error is occurring in line 146 of init.rb

Version Information:
Ruby 1.8.6
Rails 1.2.0
Gem 1.2.0
Win32-Service 0.5.2
Mongrel_service 0.3.4
OS - Windows Vista

There is a newer version of Win32 avaiable (0.6.1), but this version is
incompatible with mongrel_service and issues a version error.

Thanks in advance!

SOLVED.
The issue was with Windows Vista. You must always run the command line 
by right-clicking and using the "Run as Administrator" option.
