Hello Mike,
At first I thought you found my mistake:
2.) Right click on the installer package and select run as Administrator.
Or if you are executing the installer from a command prompt, open up a new
command prompt window by right-clicking on a console icon and selecting run
as Administrator.
I ran the installer from the browser download list and thus it might not
run in administration mode.
Yet, I also ran the installer from the command line of a command prompt
with administrator privileges and it also hung / froze on installing and/or
starting the service.
BUT! I was able to get it working on one of my systems. What I did was:
1. Install without making RXAPI a service (as you suggest). The
installer runs quickly through and without any problems.
2. Insured the RXAPI service did not exist in the service's list.
3. At the point in time, I didn't know about "rxapi /i" command. Thus I
used the command: sc create RXAPI binpath= "C:\Program
Files\ooRexx\rxapi.exe" to install the RXAPI service
4. I started services and manually set up the properties to auto start
the service
When I do "sc query rxapi" the response I get is:
SERVICE_NAME: rxapi
TYPE : 10 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
STATE : 4 RUNNING
(STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)
WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
CHECKPOINT : 0x0
WAIT_HINT : 0x0
QUESTION: Did I manually install RXAPI in an acceptable manner?
I'm now running ooRexx 4.1.3 fine and will wait to see if my problem with
starting Rexx programs (e.g. rexxtry) from the command line occurs again.
Typically, I find the system needs to be up for several days before the
issue rears its ugly head. Maybe the issue isn't just one with Rexx but
many other commands from the command line. I just use Rexx a lot and thus
it is the one I see having the issue. Should it happen again, I'll try to
do more analysis.
So, in the end, I got it working, but still don't know why the installer
hung on installing RXAPI as a service. I was able to do it manually using
the sc command.
OH! One last question: Is it possible to have a Rexx program run before
an user logs into Windows? If yes, how? If no, would it be possible to
add this to the product, in the future?
Sincerely yours,
Bert Moshier
