User Account and software starting as a service

[Chris]

Hello,

1/ On a XP PC, I logged with a User Account (Account1) with
Administrator Properties for building an Xpe image with 2 software :
Filezilla and VNC.
When I installed Filezilla, all the shortcuts StartMenu went directly
to the Account1 settings
For another software (VNC), all the VNC shortcut went to All Users
settings.

2/ I buit the XPE image with those 2 software without putting the
Account1 in the image (I don't know how to do this).

3/ When logging under XPE (Administrator account set with Automatic
logon + Winlogon), the Filezilla service does not start, although I put
all the registry key into the component (except the HKEY_USERS
directory which contain many reg keys but which does not compile OK).
If I start Filezilla manually, it works OK except when I close the
computer : a memory error occurs :"memory can not be read" and I don't
understand why.
In fact, I think it is because the Filezilla is installed under the
UserAccount (Account1) but I don't know how to solve this pb.

4/ I did many trials such as Adding Custom Resources -> Service Data
in CD without success.

Thanks for your help

Chris,

Your dev machine user account(s) have nothing to do with the runtimes you build.
Play around "User Account" component to set up prepare any user account setup in your image.

As to the software problem. Did you include all the software dependencies in your image? Analyze it with tools like
DependencyWalker.
Also, Sysinternal's Filemon and Regmon will be of some help to you while you're debugging the issue.

IIRC, I saw VPC component on www.xpefiles.com. But I may be wrong. Check it out there.
