Installing Batch Check In - error Timer Service not running

[Jenny]

I am new to the whole Sharepoint world, we are just setting up a pilot WSS 3.0 implementation to use for Document Collaboration. I am trying to install a trial version of the batch check in software but at the first step it says that the Windows SharePoint Services Timer Service is NOT Started! however when I check the service it is running fine. I tried stopping and restarting the service under the current logged in user but to no avail. We are running Windows 2008 64bit Standard edition SP2, and I get the error on both our singer server install and our production install of a WSS server and a SQL server.

Is this a problem others have encountered?

Dear Jenny,

If you want to install the Batch Check in ,You must be SharePoint Farm Administrator and start "Windows SharePoint Services Administration" and "Windows SharePoint Services Timer" in services management.

Jenny,

I am having the exact same issue, and my environment is also on Windows 2008. I try to install the product, but it fails the pre-install check saying the Windows Sharepoint Timer service is not started when it clearly is started. Seems to be an installer issue with Win 2008, and hopefully someone can come up with a solution soon.
