Running a LabView exe file as a Windows Service.

[mlwarren]

I have created a LabView application that runs fine on its own.  But I wanted to run it as a service.  Using sc.exe I was able to create the service entry into the Windows Service Manager, but every time that I start the service I receive a 1053 error from Windows and the service is shut down.  I do know that the program runs for a short period of time, because I am able to connect to it with a console program. 

Any ideas?

Thanks

Matt

Matt,

See the linked Knowledge Base "Running a LabVIEW Application as a Windows NT/2000/XP Service." This should allow you to run your LabVIEW executable as a Windows Service.

Mark,

I have tried this and my application will work this way.  But I was wanting to place the SCM callbacks into my LabView code.  This way I would not have to have addtional programs installed on my target PC.

Matt,

After a little bit of searching I found a forum topic that is very similar to yours.

I took a look at http://members.cox.net/kuanchen/lvservice/index.html for creating a Windows NT Service but I dont know how to accomplish step 2.

"Link AnyService.dll to the LabVIEW dll created in Step 1"

I downloaded Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition to build dll, but how can I do that?
