Re: [Wrapper-user] JOptionPane without parent frame using JSW.

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

Joey,
To make this work, you will need to make the service "interactive".
This can be done by setting the wrapper.ntservice.interactive property
and then reinstalling your service:
http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/prop-ntservice-interactive.html

Please note that starting with Windows 2008 and Vista, it is no longer
possible to make a service interactive.  Microsoft decided to start
forcing all output from a service to display on a Session 0 desktop.

We have been looking into ways of working around this new behavior
with Windows 2008/Vista.  It will involve spawning a second process to
manage the GUI and is still a little ways off.

Cheers,
Leif
