Hi,

I am trying to USE an automation server in a nt-service. Everything
works fine until the user who started the service logs off. Then it
seems that the automation server is killed and the nt-service crashes.

Does anybody have an idea or a working sample.

Hi Alexey,

that was really fast, only 9! minutes. But i thing your sample is not what
I am looking for.
I dont want to BE the servica a DCOM / COM-Server. I want to use another
COM-Server in my thread.

Could you describe your configuration in more detais ? Do you mean that your
service uses a com-server in another exe ? Does your service has access to
the desktop ? Does your com-server wokrs on the same computer or not ? Does
it configured to run as interactive user and so on.

Regards.

Hi Alexey,

I will give you some more details:

Yes we tried to use a com-server in another exe and we tried it with a
com-server in a DLL. Both didnt work.

No ! Both service and COM-server do not have access to the desktop ( they are
only making some beeps for testing )

Yes

No it is not configured "run as interactive"

The service is created with the Delphi-Wizard and the COM-Server is only making
some beeps, nothing else.

OK, two additional questions:
Where is the ole client code located (Service.OnStart,  OnExecute or
somewhere else)?
How do you start your service ?

Hi Alexey,

I think we solved the problem:

We checked the settings for the service again. And........ it was not
correct:

we had two services with nearly the same name and one has the setting
"interact with desktop" after changing this everything works fine.

Thanks for your help !

P.S: Will the "production" version of your svcom include the source code
?
