Subject: Win32 Service: Access Denied when creating service

Hi,
I am trying to create and register a windows service with the following
code.

require "rubygems"
require "win32/service"
   include Win32
svc = Service.new(:service_name => "rajiv_service_name")

Error:
C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/win32-service-0.7.1-x86-mswin32-60/lib/win32/service.rb:368:in
`initialize': Access is denied. (Win32::Service::Error)
        from
C:/Users/Rajiv/Documents/NetBeansProjects/MusicClockService/lib/register_bar_1.rb:9:in
`new'
        from
C:/Users/Rajiv/Documents/NetBeansProjects/MusicClockService/lib/register_bar_1.rb:9


I tried changing to:

svc = Service.new(:service_name =>SERVICE_NAME,
                  :service_start_name => "HOME\\Rajiv",
                  :password => "my_pwd" )

but it still did not work.

Thanks,
Rajiv
