Uri,
See my notes in line below.

Most likely you did this:  "wrapper.exe -s ..¥conf¥wrapper.conf"
Correct?  The "-s" command tells the Wrapper to launch as a service.
This should only be done by the ServiceManager when installed as a
service and will do exactly what you saw when run from the command
line.  This is normal as the -s command is not meant to be used by
users directly.

I'll add a little better error message to the output to avoid
confusion in the next release.  (3.3.8 is already in code freeze)

This is an error attempting to access the registry to load the
environment variables and is not a problem I have seen in the past.
Looking at the code, I just noticed that I was not using the correct
API to obtain the error message text in this case so the cause is not
being made available.   I am working on getting this fixed for the
next release.

In the mean time, can you think of anything about your configuration
that might prefent your user from accessing the registry?

Cheers,
Leif
