SoulA Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 This might not be a AutoIt question but more of a Windows guru question. Why is it when I run my app as a service with the ability to interact with the desktop and with a tray icon that when I log off the logged on user the service exe then exits and stops running? Is there anyway to stop this from happening? Everything seems to work fine when I let the executables run as a service without desktop interaction.

Try to start the service with LocalSystem account with desktop interaction.;-))Stefan Edited June 15, 2009 by 99ojo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulA Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Nope it is running under the system account. Probably should have mentioned that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the tray icon isn't necessarily needed, you may compile your exe again with option NoTrayIcon and see whats happening.2 nd guess: If your exe dont have to run always, start your exe when someone is logging on: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. Keep in your mind that the exe is then running under user credentials.;-))Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure its entirely the icon's fault either. I have had other autoit programs run that had desktop interaction set and had no tray icon and they did the same things.
