IBReplServerSvc NT service cannot start

Q: IBReplServerSvc NT service cannot start. Microsft managment console show "Error 1053" (or so). Command string is "IBReplServerSvc.exe default /SILENT /I:IBREPL.ini".

A: If Microft managment console does not get notification from a service in a timeout then shows such message. The service cannot display any message (parametr /SILENT) but can log all error messages normally printed to standard output to file if /O:<file> command line parameter is presented. To add it change manually in registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet###\Services\IBREPLSERVER-*\ImagePath) startup string or reinstall service:

ibreplserversvc /UNINSTALL
ibreplserversvc /INSTALL /O:log.txt

Start service and look in file what is wrong.
