QuestionStarting a service on Windows Vista after installing it from the installer Pin
ComplexLifeForm5-Jun-07 1:19

Hi All,

Currently I am working on deployment of our application on Windows Vista based PC. The installer supplied by us is supposed to install a OPenSSH sever on the target machine and start it so that it is available for all users of the system. Till Windows XP it was fine but with Vista things have changed. The service is not getting started on Vista PC. I have tried various methods to make it work but none of them worked. Please if someone has an idea what could be the issue do let me know.
For you information I am using Installshield Professional 12.X for makining our installer. The following are the methods I have tried till now

1. Raising the elevation level of the installer exe (marked it as requireAdministrator)
2. Raising the elevation level of actual serivce (marked it as requireAdministrator)
For the above two I have embedded the modified manifest file. The one generated by the Installshield has privelege level set as "highest available"

If I am a member of admin group and I execute an installer exe which has embedded manifest containing requested privelege as "require administrator" then Vista UAC does not prompt me for elevation this means that the setup program is running with full admin priveleges. So any process started by it should also be running with admin priveleges, right?

Now once the installation is done and the setup ask to reboot the machine so as soon as the process exits I am back to standard user. So the next time I log into the machine I will be a standard user, however the service requires AdminPriveleges hence it did not started.

So how do I make my installer to install the service properly so the next time I or any user logs into the machine the service is in started state?

Does anyone is aware of some tool that shows me what is the difference when executing the application/service in WinXP Compatible mode. If I run my SSH server in WinXP compatible it does gets started and is available for all the users.

Can someone please let me know where I am going wrong? I do not want to do various group policity settings or run an application in compatibility mode.

Thanks and Regards
