[Nut-upsuser] NUT start service problem

Hello, interesting to hear. What version of NUT, what way of installation
on Windows, what sort of UPS (USB or some other)?

Asking because this info is lacking and currently there are a few variants
to consider:

* an MSI package based on NUT v2.6.5 (last released about 9 years ago as
"2.6.5-6"),
* results of re-integration of that codebase into current NUT master (some
months after 2.8.0 release), with regular CI-made archives of binary build
"installation" directories which so far lack an installer (nobody
looked at
it yet) and have some other caveats and bits of known-missing code. In
particular, lack of the installer may be behind the lack of
(privileged-mode) USB integration, although it is possible to use the Zadig
tool to specify which low-level USB drivers should handle certain
VendorID:ProductID hits. From codebase re-integration differences over the
commit history I saw several ways iterated and changed about Windows
Service registration in particular, so it is possible that the approach
used at the time of MSI releases is different from the one implemented in
the codebase now. Sadly so far nobody else stepped up to brush up the
remaining parts and complete the Windows codebase integration, someone who
would actually use Windows, UPS and NUT together to find and iron out the
wrinkles. Help is welcome :)

Hope this helps,
