[Installation] Relaunch of ps3mediaserver fails on Vista

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install latest version 1.02.1 on vista sp1 laptop. 
2. Connect to ps3 (it does this successfully)
3. Shut down app and start it up again but it will not connect to PS3

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Application only seems to connect first time after install and on 
rebooting pc. If I return to v1.0 it connects each time application is 
launched without any problems at all. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.02.1 - Vista SP1

If you are transcoding a media file, which engine are you using (mencoder, 
avisynth/mencoder, tsmuxer?)
N/A

If the media file is in error (or does not play flawlessly), what are the 
codec informations of this file (you can use following program: 
mediainfo.sourceforge.net) ? 
N/A

Please provide any additional information below and PLEASE JOIN debug.log 
file !!

Trace tab confirms - [main] TRACE 00:25:58.326 Starting Java PS3 Media 
Server v1.02.1

Run the program as an administrator.

P.S. Also make exception rules in vista firewall.

The same now happens with me.

If I uninstall, then reinstall a fresh copy of 1.02.1 it works again, but again 
if I 
quit and restart, it will not connect - just seems to get stuck on the first 
line of 
the trace.

I just realised, this is the same as issue 104

104 is slightly different, it's a network issue
here we have a basic user rights issue on Vista

It seems there's a problem at the second launch because the application try to 
access/reset in write mode the "debug.log" file (at first, it's not here and 
created 
automatically)
I will double check that one, meantime I think just delete the debug.log might 
help

the debug.log isn't the culprit it seems, so I don't know what's going on...
for your information, to quote the issue 104

"I just tried to run PMS in admin mode and that did it for me, found the PS3 
directly.

After that i changed security properties for "Program\PS3 Media Server" folder 
to 
full access for the user account and that worked better, so you can get rid of 
the 
run in admin mode."

I have this as well.  The solution from issue 104 offered above (the changing of
security settings) does not fix the issue for me.

The admin permission does work for me

More testing and a solution.

I noticed that no settings changes make it work.  I changed various security 
options,
giving the folder all rights, letting it log as admin at start...  I can reboot,
exit, start and no fix.

However, stopping and starting the service manually does make it kick in right 
away.
 Also reinstalling and not using the "Install as service" fixes the issue.  I just
run it in the startup folder with the "start minimized" option and it works 
fine.

So it seems the issue is in the run as service process.
