Andy,
I included the "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" component. This
component will not start, it appears to missing dependencies, has the wrong
path and looks like it is passing the wrong argument.
The following dependencies are listed for this service:
Remote Procedure Call(RPC)
Workstation
The following path to executable is listed:
system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs

On my 2k box the path is listed as:
C:\WINNT\system32\svchost.exe -k BITSgroup

Thanks,

Sean

I did a cursory examination of the component, as you can as well via Target
Designer. The value appears to be set correctly. Please examine the
resources of your BITS component and see if they are showing you incorrect
information, if so, then there may be a problem with your database. Note
that there are no other complaints about BITS failing to start, so it may be
your runtime.

I'll check a runtime later and see if it repro's on my machine as well, if
not then the problem is with your DB or your runtime. Sorry.

Andy

You're right, post FBA the BITS service data is being corrupted, though it
appears good in the component. I was able to get the service running by
making two changes.

1. I changed the service log on to "Log on As Local System Account".
2. In the registry I changed the BITS service "ImagePath" key to:
%SystemRoot%\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs

You can locate the BITS service info here in the registry here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BITS

Sorry for the inconvenience.
