LabVIEW as Service on Windows NT

[Petter Kristiansen]

Hi all,
I have been told that there exists an undocumented configuration item
�runAsService� that can be set in the LabVIEW.ini file.
This parameter will configure LabVIEW to ignore the Windows log out message
and allow LabVIEW applications to be installed and run as services under
Windows NT.
Has anybody experience with this?

Brian Renken started a web page to document these ini settings.

I do not see that or any similar setting though that just means
we dont know about it. If you find it please let Brian know.

You could however make the app an exe and see if there
are tools avaliable for NT to make it a service.
I am pretty sure th
at can be done.

Good Luck

Dunno about that, but in the NT reskit there's a program called "SrvAny"
that will let you use *any* application as a service, and set it to load and
run at startup before a user even logs in. It's documented, and should work
with Labview although I've never tried it. The resource kit is available
from Amazon, if nobody on your site has it (the licensing is such that when
one person on a site buys it, everyone else can use it).
