windows service installation "Administrator access is needed"

Question

I am using NSSM (the Non-Sucking Service Manager) to install a windows service from a batch file like this

"nssm install C:\stash\runstash.bat"

but it throws:

"Administrator access is needed to install a service"

When I check user accounts in control panel, it shows that I am logged in with a User Name in the "Administrators" group.

Does anyone knows any possible reasons for this issue?

Thanks

You running it from command line, right? Then run with admin rights. There few possible ways:

1. right click on cmd shortcut, the run as administrator

2. execute cmd /admin

I believe you have UAC on on your PC, that's most programs run with user grant by defaul
