I already built it as a windows service, but this doesn't work for three
reasons.
Nr 1,server app is also a management console, services run without a user
interface.
Nr 2, some of our clients, believe it or not, still have windows 98 machines
running as servers, on which services don't work.
Nr 3, the remote object initiates an com-object which we don't have the
source of (it is an object which translates vb to our developing language.)
initiating this object only works from within a "normal" application, don't
ask me why.
So I want this one to run all the time, but as a windows form ( i already
put it into an application context, so on the server you will only see an
icon in the systray, which can be double-clicked to initiate the actual
form.)

You mention that this is a server app - do you want it to run as a windows
service so it will run when no-one is logged onto the server or do you
just want it running when someone actually logs on?

news:cf**********@reader13.wxs.nl... Hi,
anyone got an example of how to build an install of an application which has to be started at startup? So the application has to be installed on the
server and together with the installation, the registry has to be
changed so it will launch at start-up
tx in advance
