skix32.exe

Is it possible to build a kix version we can use as a service?

Call it skix32.exe and a lot of password related issues are solved.

Re: skix32.exe

use srvany.exe from the MS reskit
code:
 
copy '@scriptdir\InvClient.kix' %windir%
copy '@scriptdir\wkix32.exe' %windir%
copy '@scriptdir\srvany.exe' %windir%

shell 'cmd /c c:\temp\invclient\instsrv InvClient %windir%\srvany.exe'

$=writevalue('HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\InvClient','Start','2',REG_DWORD)
$=writevalue('HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\InvClient\Parameters','Application','%windir%\wkix32.exe',REG_SZ)
$=writevalue('HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\InvClient\Parameters','AppParameters','%windir%\InvClient.kix',REG_SZ)

or do you have a more specific issue?

Re: skix32.exe

There are actually a couple of (free) utilities available that permit you to run applications as a service. Depending on what you try to accomplish, one cold also run a KiXtart script via scheduled task that e.g. checks for changes in a .INI file , registry or via WMI eventsinks in order to trigger something.

Re: skix32.exe

I have no particular reason for my post.
It is more a reaction on al the posts to run kix as an other user.
Task scheduler works fine for me.
Maybe not for everyone?

yesterday I tested wkix32.exe as a service start as domain admin and it worked fine in my test domain.

Not gone use it but I can not look in the future.

Wkix32 is the windows consoleless version of the program.

Re: skix32.exe

Thanks for dredging up this old post. The difference betweeb KIX32.EXE and WKIX32.EXE is documented in the KiXtart Manual.
