Error 3534
The service did not report an error.
Explanation: The service did not report an error.
I have the same problem on window xp. I have resolved this by clearing the event log and then start the service. This time the service started successfully with no error message.
hi all,
i also have got the same error..
in my case, this was permissions on a log file, that i had to delete so the service could rewrite them with the proper permissions. But to find this, i looked at the event log which pointed me to this issue. specifically:
1. right click my computer
2. click manage
3. goto: computer management -> systeme tools -> event viewer -> application
4. look for a Red X and type “error”, then make sure the “source” is the same service that you have trouble starting, read the information and error and look for the exact file causing the problem. If it’s a log file just delete the file and start the service, or use the information in the event to find another solution.
Thanks A LOT…………..

Has anyone tried Patrick’s suggestion? (post date:3/24/2009 at 11:25)
deleting the log file.
I’d like to add; before deleting right click and “save as” for a backup. better safe then sorry.
although i can not see why a error log might preform a run.app(fault)..
I had issue Same issue with Windows 2003 Server
