Try the following to install the WebShell service (I have cut and paste
this from my installation guide so some of the path names may need
changing for your systems):-
1.8 Installing the WebShell Service
1 From the command prompt, change directory to D:\ADSM_V3\BACLIENT.
2 Run the following command to configure the WebShell service password:
mkwspswd p <node_name> client a D:\ADSM_V3\BACLIENT\WSSTUFF
where <node_name> is the name of this machine on which you are running
this command.
3 Run the following command to install the WebShell service:
C:\TOOLS\NTRESKIT\INSTSRV.EXE "ADSM WebShell Service"
C:\TOOLS\NTRESKIT\SRVANY.EXE
4 Run the registry edit tool:
regedt32
5 From the REGEDT32 window, select the
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ADSM WebShell
Service" key. Add a key called Parameters but leave the class field
blank and then click OK.
6 Under the "Parameters" key, add an Application value of type REG_SZ
and click OK.
7 In the String Editor window, enter the following:
D:\ADSM_V3\BACLIENT\WEBSHELL.EXE
8 Under the "Parameters" key, add an AppDirectory value of type REG_SZ
and click OK.
9 In the String Editor window, enter the following:
D:\ADSM_V3\BACLIENT
10 Exit the REGEDT32 application.
11 From Start|Settings|Control Panel|Services, select the "ADSM WebShell
Service" service and click Startup...
12 Set the startup type to be automatic.
13 Finally, click Start to start the ADSM WebShell Service.
