[Icecast] Icecast install under Windows

[that Jack Elliott]

Hi Marvin,

I followed the wiki instructions and they went w/o any issues until

C:\Users\username> nssm start Icecast
Can't open service!
OpenService(): Access is denied!

Probably a good idea to mention that the command window needs to be Run 
as administrator. Then it works.

Many thanks!
