Fred Gordy 1 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I had to recover my Windows 10 on a 64-bit machine. I originally had Synergy 1.10.3 installed on the machine. Now when I try to install it and it gets to "Starting services" it fails and says I don't have sufficient rights to install it. I am logged in as local admin. I have installed all the other programs I had originally installed and have not had an issue. Error: "Service 'Synergy' (Synergy) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." Install Package: synergy_1.10.3-stable-b126-ca35737a_windows-x64 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hi Please download and run the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable from here:https://support.microsoft.com/en-ph/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads Then install Synergy. Let me know if this helps. Link to post Share on other sites

Guvenc Acarkan 0 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 It took me about 3 hours to find this answer. This is a commercial product and this is a major issue. You should really be referring to this on the download page. A customer is not supposed to go around the web looking for answers for a critical and known issue. Link to post Share on other sites
DanW 0 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 +1 to @Guvenc Acarkan comment. I just spent almost an hour messing around with this on Windows7. The install went through without an issue on my Win10 Machine, so I was even more confused with this issue. You should make a note of this on the downloads page... or maybe having a "Known Issues" page somewhere? Link to post Share on other sites
Thobs 1 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 This is an issue because even the message itself is not aligned correctly, it speaks of privileges where else the issue is a missing framework. This must bee documented also the insttaller must check dependencies before it tries to install. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
