After installing E-mailRelay as a service on Widows 10, I almost expected it would be running immediately, however this was not the case.

So I had to go to services.msc and start the E_MailRelay service manually.
Because the service startup Type is set to "Automatic" it would of course be started at the next reboot.

Would you consider starting the service automaticly after install by e.g. executing something simple as "net start e-mailrelay" and stopping with "net stop e-mailrelay" before removing the service ?

    I read this ticket from time to time but I'm never sure how to respond. You're right that it could be better, but there is a "Launch" button on the last page that will start the service if you selected start-on-boot or run the program in the desktop system tray otherwise. Perhaps the launch button should be replaced by a modal "Start service now? Ok/Cancel" message box if you selected start-on-boot.
