Turn (or install) a VB.NET application into an interactive service

Hi All..

I have developed an application (vb.net) that basically wakes up early
morning, and transmits via FTP an access database. The application
works fine. Lately, it hasnt been working, so some investigation found
that the users (all XP Pro) where logging off their PC's.

Of course, logging off their PC's caused the program to cease running.

My vb.net app is installed by a Setup Project under VS.NET. What I
would like to do is to get the installer to install it as a Service
(interactive with the desktop).

Can I do this, or do I have to turn the application into a Windows
Service? If, on the other hand, once the program was installed, if
there is a utility (that works) or some code to incorporate into the
application that I can call with a switch to install it as a service...

Thankyou to all
Robert

I dont know if this is the correct newsgroup to post questions on Windows Service. I am trying to install and uninstall a Windows Service programmatically. As far as I know, there isnt a class in .NET FCL which supports doing that. The ServiceController class starts/stops an installed service but doesnt install a service. Is there a way to install/uninstall a service programmatically (not using the Installer) ? Thanks.

To create a 'interactive' service on windows - we use a localsystem account ,with 'Interact with desktop' option. Is there any other account which allows a service to be interactive - e.g. can a service be made interactive while it is running under the credentials of a domain account in 2000/XP/2003 ? We launch an IE browser from the service - and hence the service neesd to be interactive.

"(MSSQLSERVER) service is marked as an interactive service. However, the system is configured to not allow interactive services" This problems may solve a recurring failure in my automatic updates if I can figure out what to do with it. Any Suggestions welcome - Cheers

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
