Mule Anypoint Gateway for .NET platform not running as a service in windows 7 professional desktop

Question

I am trying to use MSMQ queue inside Mule flow;Going by the docs here , I find we need to run Anypoint Gateway as a service. The service wont run and gives error:

"Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"

System:windows 7 professional desktop 64 bit; How to resolve the issue?

Info from System logs:

A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the Anypoint Gateway service to connect.

Info from Application logs:

The program AnyPoint-Gateway-Service.exe version 1.0.0.0 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.

Error from MSI installer:

Product: Anypoint Gateway for Windows -- Error 1920. Service 'Anypoint Gateway' (MuleMSMQService) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.

I have admin privileges to install any service and running on .NET 4.03 platform.

Answer 1

The Mule Doc says for a .NET 4.0 prerequisite. But I resolved the above error by:
1.Updating to .NET 4.5 platform
2.Running the Anypoint-Gateway.exe as compatible for windows 7(tweaking the properties of exe).
3.Also check if you have admin rights.
