Default windows service installed with wrong path ?


I have a problem: I have a component that I selected in TD and was installed
with the OS, but the that service will not start and so I checked the
properties and the path to the application is wrong. The path reads
"system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs" and should read
"C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs."
Is there some way I can correct this?

Thanks,

Sean

What component is this? You should be able to edit the registry value in TD,
but i'd like to see this component for myself, unless it's not a component
in the default DB.

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
