RoonServer won't start under nssm

Hi all

I have a Core i7 NUC that I use as a headless server under Win 10 V19043.1288. So far I have always had to log in and manually restart roon to have a roon server. I now tried to run Roon as a service as per the instructions on Running RoonServer as a windows service.

I ran CMD as an administrator and entered the commands as asked in this article. This works for the first two commands but not the last one where I get an error “RoonServer: Unexpected status SERVICE_STOPPED in response to START control.”

If I try to start the service from the Services app, I also get an error that the service could not be started on the local computer.

It also says to review the system event log, where I find “The RoonServer service terminated with the following service-specific error: The system cannot find the path specified.”

In the application log I find “Failed to start service RoonServer. Program RoonServer.exe couldn’t be launched. CreateProcess() failed: The system cannot find the file specified.”

The service app says the path to executable is
“C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Roon\Application\nssm.exe”

Any idea what I can do to fix this ?

I do the following because it works
Windows logo key + R, type shell:startup
copy a shortcut to the application into that folder.
it will start on reboot.

Add an app to run automatically at startup in Windows 10 (microsoft.com)
