Parameter

Description

reinstall

Uninstalls and then reinstalls the service with the user configured in the Admin Configurator.

Ensure that the user running the service is configured correctly before running this command. If no option is specified, the Local System user is the default.

install

Installs the service with the user configured in the Admin Configurator. Make sure that the user running the service is configured correctly before running this command (the Local System user is the default). If the service is already installed, a message is returned.

Because this method of installing the Windows service bypasses the Install as Service setting in the Admin Configurator, if flexnet site make is run, the Windows service is uninstalled.
