Running nats-server as windows service with parameters error 1053

[thekonmey]

Hi,
I am currently trying to run a nats-server as a windows service with nats flags.
I can start the nats-server.exe manually from the command line with the config flag without problems.

Also registering the nats-server as a service with sc.exe create nats-server "C:\NATS\nats-server.exe" and then starting it works fine.
But obviously doesn't allow me to add flags.

As visible in this screenshot I can add flags in the service start parameter field in the services administrative tool and the nats-server service will start. The problem is, this doesn't allow automatic restarts with the flags set.

If I add the flags to the binPath like described here (https://docs.nats.io/running-a-nats-service/introduction/windows_srv)
I get an Error 1053 when trying to start the service.

I tried the following version for the path:

• C:\NATS\nats-server.exe -c C:\NATS\nats.conf --> Error 1053
• C:\NATS\nats-server.exe -c nats.conf --> Error 1053
• "C:\NATS\nats-server.exe -c C:\NATS\nats.conf" --> File not found
• "C:\NATS\nats-server.exe -c nats.conf" --> File not found
• "C:\NATS\nats-server.exe" -c "C:\NATS\nats.conf" --> Error 1053
• "C:\NATS\nats-server.exe" -c "nats.conf" --> Error 1053

Any ideas where I am making a mistake?

This post on so (https://stackoverflow.com/a/42821528) suggests these parameters get passed differently to the program. Could this be an issue here?

Thank you!
