Re: [Wrapper-user] wrapper.ntservice.starttype

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Lars,
We will look into it.  One problem I see however is the fact that
changing service configurations requires Administrator level
privileges.  When the Wrapper is running as a service, it is running
as the SYSTEM user which does not.

In Windows Vista, 2008 and 7, this requires an Elevated Administrator
account,  we have already been doing some research on how these
accounts work for other purposes.  It may be necessary to actually run
the service as an elevated user.

Cheers,
Leif
