Hey,

I have done little search on ni.com/support for "labview application service". Look at this kb I found, it tells you how to do the trick 😉

Running a LabVIEW exe as a Windows Service

Thanks for that,

It's answered a question I wasn't asking, but it's very helpful all the same.

Can the service be started as boot time via the management console?

You can use the srvany from the Windows Resource Kit to create a user-defined service. You can download the whole kit (it says Windows Server 2003, but it will work on XP/2000), or just get the relevant files.

Edit: Actually, I would think that once you created the service with the tool mentioned in the NI  KB article you should simply be able to set the service to "automatic" and it will start at boot time. Did you try this?

I have used the KB to turn LabVIEW exes into services and yes you can set them up like any other service (Manual, Automatic).

Dear Smercurio,

           Thanks for the good one, but it still requires the windows XP or later OS, when i extract the software, it gives me this error.

           Even Fire Daemon software (same one provided by Alessio in this post) is also running the same, and we even dont have to make it Automatic to start at boot up time, it automatically creates the automatic service which also runs at boot time, so not to worry about anything.

Thanks,

Nishant
