Re: [Wrapper-user] Service and GUI

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

Peter,
You can obtain a trial of the Pro Edition by clicking on the Free
Trial button at the top of the page:
http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/requestTrial.jsp

However, even in you run with the WrapperManager.exec method, it will
still launch the child process in the same context.  This means that
the child will be under the same rules as the service.   We will need
to make a modification to this method to make it possible to launch a
child process into a user's context.

It will not be possible to get this into the 3.5.0 release, but we
will look into getting into the next version.

Cheers,
Leif
