GetLastError "the system cannot find the path specified" what path?

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have an installed service with a valid path to the executable. However, when I try running the service, GetLastError/FormatMessage gives me the message "the system cannot find the path specified". Since it appears that the specified path in the properties panel of the service in question is a valid path, how can I find which path the system thinks it is looking for? It doesn't seem to be looking for the one I think it should be looking for. Is there a way to get to the string containing the path that generates the error?

Thank you
