Howdy All,
I'm developing missing services in Wine and am running into problems with how Wine starts services. In Windows a service can be started using "net start <service name>", assuming that the service is properly added to the registry. In Wine it appears that the user must manually start the service before calling "net start <service name>", or the service fails to start.
This is blocking me from developing an svchost wrapped DLL. I guess its not surprising that the work around of first manually starting a service fails for a DLL with no main function :-)
Dan Kegel mentioned a recollection of a known bug in Wine along these lines where, as a work around, clients are manually starting servers. Anyone know more details on this problem? Any pointers to old emails or knowledge of this problem would be a big help I start digging through WINEDEBUG logs.
Thanks! -Roy
