Re: [Wrapper-user] Start Batch or Exe as a service

[Miraodb <mi...@ho...>]

hi jean-simon,

Right... it definitely looks like it's not the proper way to start my
application, however running the app as a service is one of the
requierements from many of our clients and i kind of have to do it... no
matter how.

I really think the wrapper is great and i'm almost there.....
Only the fact that the code 0 was returned blocked me from being able to
stop it.

Any luck about the errors i got ?

I might have to go for the native libraries in C++ and i don't really want
to :-(

Any help would be just perfect.
Thanks a lot,

fabrice
