This may not be the forum to ask this question, but I installed snort on Windows 2000 with no problem.  I then followed 
the winsnort directions (http://www.winsnort.com/Winsnort/guides/WinSnortApache.pdf) on installing snort as a service 
and received the error "Could not start the Snort service on Local Computer.  Error 1067: The process terminated 
unexpectedly."  And it did not start.  The command I used to install the service was as follows (from the snort/bin 
directory): 
        snort /SERVICE /INSTALL -de -c c:\snort\etc\snort.conf -l c:\snort\log -i1

I also set the service to automatically start. Following is what the snort service properties path reads 
"C:\Snort\bin\SNORT /SERVICE"

Any suggestions??
