is there a way for a windows service to launch an external application in a
new window?
I have a service running that is supposed to launch external prog.
The prog is launched but there's no command window created,

Thanks

Ilann,

Launching a process from a service isn't a good idea, especially if it
can't interact with the desktop.

As a workaround, you can set the checkbox for "Allow service to interact
with desktop" to true. However, I would recommend this (as you can't always
guarantee that there will be a desktop.

Rather, I would have some sort of application running which receives
messages from the service and then runs the application.

Hope this helps.
