Hello,
I've written and installed windows service in C#. I have two questions:
1)
File.Open("lock ", FileMode.OpenOr Create, FileAccess.Read , FileShare.None)
does not create the file even if it doesn't exist.
Also:
Directory.Exist s(ConfigDirecto ryName)
returns always true (even if the directory doesn't exists)
I am sure paths are OK, my service runs under LocalSystem account which has
necessary (all, in fact) rights to the application directory. The service
CAN create files in the directory (I've checked).
The same code run from console application works fine.
What may be wrong? Why my service tells me files and directories exist, when
they don't? :)
2)
Is there some way to control the order in which services stop when the
system shuts down? My service depends on WMI, I have specified this in the
code. But when OnShutdown() code is running, I'm positively sure WMI is no
longer working.
I'd appreciate any help,
Jan

Are you sure that you're looking in the correct directory? When a service
starts, it's default directory is %SystemRoot%\Sy stem32. If you look there,
I think that you'll find your "lock" file and the directory that
ConfigDirectory Name points at.
You're right of course. I was sure that default directory would be
application directory. I didn't check it.
I'm still working on the second matter, though...:)
Thank you for your help.

For society;)
There is no way you can control order in which services shut down (during
system shutdown).

I just wrote a test Windows Service that creates a text file on startup

I have encountered a problem with the installation of a Windows service. I

doing wrong.
When I create a setup project for a Windows Service project, build and then
run it, the installation completes successfully but the service does not show
up in the service control panel. If I install the service using
installutil.exe the service will install just fine.

Hi.
I know my windows service works when i run it in debug mode on my dev
machine.
It also works in release mode on my dev machine. But, when I move the
service to
a production server, it exits immediately with a start/stop/nothing to
do error.
What could be wrong?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
