[smartmontools-support] smartd in Windows Vista

[Frédéric L. W. M. <lis...@pe...>]

I'm new to Windows Vista and installed smartmontools on it. 
smartctl works fine, but smartd reports the following in Event 
Viewer:

"Service Control Manager Eventlog Provider

The SmartD Service service is marked as an interactive service. 
However, the system is configured to not allow interactive 
services.  This service may not function properly."

I installed the service from a cmd.exe running as 
administrator, so I don't know what's wrong.

Is it a Vista thing or smartd needs the required support ?

While smartd appears to be working, I doubt if this message 
means the popup won't show up if something bad occurs.
