app as a service on a mapped (non-local) drive

B

Ben Aga

I'm trying to run an app that resides on a mapped drive on
our network as a service. instsrv keeps insisting that
srvany and the executable we want to run as a service
needs to reside on a local fixed disk. Is there a
workaround for this problem or have I missed something
with the setup? I can get the app to run just fine as a
service when it resides on my hard drive. Any thoughts?

Thank you

I believe this is by design.
A service must be local.
