Installed fms4  x64 on windows server 2008 to try it out. When i open up task manager to check processes running, FMSCore process does not run
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/862/cpsid_86205.html
I found this in the knowledge base but step3 "Run this program As Administrator" checkbox is greyed out so i cannot do anything. I have stopped and restarted service so many time, rebooted server at least twice.

Even the video that's supposed to play when you click the start screen is not playing

Set the Flash Media Server services to Run as Administrator

Complete the following steps for each of the following files located in the Flash Media Server root installation folder (C:/Program Files/Adobe/Flash Media Server, by default):

  • FMSAdmin.exe
  • FMSCore.exe
  • FMSMaster.exe
  • FMSEdge.exe
  1. Right-click the file and chooseProperties.
  2. Select the Compatibility tab and click Change Settings For All Users.
  3. Select Run This Program As Administrator. Click Apply, and then click OK.
  4. Complete these steps for each Flash Media Server service.
  5. Restart the computer.

Flash Media Server starts when the computer starts.

    Hi,

    Thanks for using FMS4.

    When you said "

    I have stopped and restarted service so many time, rebooted server at least twice. "

    How did you make sure that the services are restarted ? Probably they have not yet started at all ? You need to have admin privileges to start/stop the FMS services. Please make sure you have the admin rights for the logged in user.

    Open a command prompt as admin, and run the following commands :

    net start fms

    net start fmsadmin.
