Hi

I'm trying to debug an NT Service App that gets stuck showing the
status 'starting'.

I tried writing to a file on c: drive but that only seems to work after
someone has logged on.

>From what I could find on the net, the way to trace what is happening
is to use the windows event log.

I found a component and the demo looked easy to use and worked, so I
have tried to include this into my service.

I'm then creating an msi using installsheild x, and assigning the
service app using group policy, to a group of computers using the
computer configuration section. The service thus starts when the
machine boots, before anyone has logged on.

Unfortunately, no events seem to get logged :(

Can anyone tell me if I'm approaching this problem in the right way?
(ie using the event component) and what i need to do to log events in
my service?

I'm using Delphi 6 on windows xp, target system windows 2000
server/client network

Hoi

You need to repost your question on the Borland news server to make
