Cannot write to file when running from a service

[DeFirence]

Hi all

I spent the majority of yesterday trying to find a solution to this before finally coming here...

I use srvany.exe from Microsoft to make my script run as a service, but when it runs from the service, it is unable to write to a file.

I have made a test script that makes one file and one folder and when i run it as a limited user or administrator it works perfectly, but when it is run by srvany running under the administrator account or the local system account, or even by a another script that is run by srvany, the files do not get written to disk.

;~ Client.au3
;~ Test code for writing to disk
FileWrite("test.txt", "test!")
DirCreate("testdir")oÝ÷ Ù«­¢+ØíøIÕ¹

Client.au3 doesnt write to disk if run directly by srvany or if run my RunClient.au3 which is run by srvany...

Thanks

I'm using xp and like I said, I've tried many times using the system account and the administrator account.

Thanks for the reply.

Specify the file path of the target file because the service is likely to have a different working directory.

XP pro or home?

Have you also tried to set the hook "interact with the desktop" for the service?

Is there any entrance of error-message in the eventviewer?

Hope we an find the problem together
