Hi SCN,
I am running a fresh install of SMP3 SP05 in Windows Server 2008
I just faced this issue after stopping SMP and trying to start it again.
The system will not come up and i cant really find any information. I am asking the question if anyone faced this issue before and how he/she could resolve it.
Basically, I run as an admin and the system just fails with "Attempt to start SAPSMP3Service failed please check the logs."
The SMP logs do not have any ifnormation since they system is not running.
Checking the Windows Event Viewer I can see that the system is failing with an error code 5 (vendor code as it is specified)
Please check the attached .doc for screenshots.
