I have an executable that uses HTTP FORM post commands to open a browser
window and establish an SSL VPN tunnel for an application on my XP Pro system
(SP2). When initiated by the user logged on to the computer (either via the
registry or as a scheduled task) the application runs flawlessly. I can even
run the application off of the desktop and it opens up. When I set a service
to call the application, the application errors out at the point where it
would open the browser window.
From what I have learned, it seems as if there is either a security option
that is forbidding the service account form launching a browser in the user's
account, or IE is forbidding it. I cannot use the service using the Local
System account because it requires access to the file structure (it's backup
software). I have tried altering the registry key to "Allow Interact with
Desktop", I found an information file here:
http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/Cs...iceDesktop.asp
that suggest it would fix the problem. It has not.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. This is so close to being able to
work and it would stink to have it blow up this close.
