In particular you must have write access to the appropriate parts of the registry to create the services. You can try re-running the installer after you have ascertained that you have these rights, or you can try running <CODE>splunk enable boot-start</CODE> from the command prompt.</P> Thu, 23 Feb 2012 06:47:00 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/splunk-installer-was-unable-to-create-splunk-services-Error/m-p/77047#M14062 gkanapathy 2012-02-23T06:47:00Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/splunk-installer-was-unable-to-create-splunk-services-Error/m-p/77048#M14063 <P>I already have administrative rights to use computer. <BR /> could you show me how to check the rights ? </P> Thu, 23 Feb 2012 06:54:07 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/splunk-installer-was-unable-to-create-splunk-services-Error/m-p/77048#M14063 jkchun 2012-02-23T06:54:07Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/splunk-installer-was-unable-to-create-splunk-services-Error/m-p/77049#M14064 <P>Depending on the version of windows you are using you may need to right click on the installer and select "Run as administrator" to execute it with administrator priviledges</P> Thu, 23 Feb 2012 10:49:44 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/splunk-installer-was-unable-to-create-splunk-services-Error/m-p/77049#M14064 Drainy 2012-02-23T10:49:44Z
