Re: [Wrapper-user] Launch app from Windows 7 service

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

Jose,
Sorry for the delay getting back to you.

Unfortunately, starting with Windows Vista and 2008, Microsoft decided
to change the rules for interactive services so that they can no
longer interact with regular desktops.   They now have access to a
Session 0 desktop as you have already discovered.

We are working on a way to make this kind of thing possible, but it
will be in a future release.

What exactly are you wanting to do?  Run a GUI application in a user
desktop?   If so, do want to show the GUI in a specific desktop, or on
all logged in desktops?

Cheers,
Leif
