The correct method to install the service is to run the following command
in a DOS window after running the SETUP.EXE program and after you have
customized your DSM.OPT file:
dsmcutil install /name:"ADSM Central Scheduler Service" /node:NODENAME
/password:PASSWORD /autostart:yes.

 did you try without the /clientdir (i never used this option when
installing but just cd to the directory where the files are)
_or_ try /clientdir:"c:\progra~1\ibm\adsm\baclient\" ?

 my guess is that the path for the service binary has been wrongly
fielded by dsmcutil. check

ImagePath

value on

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ADSM Scheduler

 amicalement,
