Resilio Connect Agent Service won't start on Windows

If you try to start the service and get an error message saying "Windows could not start Resilio Connect Agent Service on Local Computer. Error 1: Incorrect Function", the problem might be in a missing or misconfigured sync.conf file. connect_service.png

To fix it, follow these steps:

1) Make sure that there is a sync.conf file in C:\Program Files\Resilio Connect Agent or the directory where you chose to install the agent. If it's not there, re-download the config from Management Console and put it to the directory.

2) Check sync.conf's content. It's a JSON format, so you can run it through any online json validator, or visually check the syntax.

3) Start the Service.
