LansweeperPRO service problem

[Sayonara_SA]

Hi

When i try to start the LansweeperPRO service i get the following

The LansweeperPRO service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts service


What does that mean ?

looks like it's working thanx

Had to delete the top line of the text file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8?>

I take it i can do without this part?

Could you attach your Lansweeper30.exe.config please.
There seems to be an error in the file.

Take a look at the errorlog.txt in the service folder to check for errors on startup.
