Re: [Wrapper-user] Swing GUI not working in Windows 7

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

Gaurav,
As we wrote on the site, this is unfortunately the result of a change to
the way Windows works.
For security reasons, Microsoft decided to make this impossible.
http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.com/doc/english/prop-ntservice-interactive.html

It is now necessary for interactive services to have desktop specific
clients which then communicate with the service using pipes or sockets.
We have been looking into ways of implementing this for a future version,
but it will almost certainly require changes to the user application to
make it work.

Cheers
Leif
