Re: [Wrapper-user] Access Denied problem in Windows 7

[Lars S. <Lar...@if...>]

Hi Leif
Yes, it all works fine on Windows XP.
I can start and stop my service from Services without any problem on the 
Windows 7 machine. If I try to do anything to the service from  the 
command prompt nothing works. I can't install, uninstall, start or stop 
my service. If I however run the install and uninstall batch files with 
"Run as administrator" it works. What I need is the ability to execute a 
Runtime.exec() to "Run as administrator", but I guess that is not 
something that is supported in Java.

Your first suggestion is not a possibility for me, I can't expect a 
certain user account to be present.

Your second suggestion is also something I really would like to avoid. 
My application uses quite a few system resources and a security manager 
could make life very painful.

I am trying to restart my service from another java application. I had 
to split my application into a service and a GUI-part because Windows 
Vista and Windows 7 can't have services with GUI components. I have a 
system tray program that should allow the user to restart the service.
