Run an Exe from Windows service
-
Hi , My problem is that, I want to run an .exe from the windows service. But the application window is not visible to the user. Exe and Service is running in task manager. Previously I was using CreateProcess funtion. Then after getting suggestion from this site, I changed that into CreateProcessAsUser and the Code is like below. But Still I am facing same problem. BOOL b; HANDLE hToken; HANDLE hNewToken; b = OpenProcessToken(GetCurrentProcess(), TOKEN_ASSIGN_PRIMARY|TOKEN_DUPLICATE, &hToken); b = DuplicateTokenEx(hToken, TOKEN_ASSIGN_PRIMARY|TOKEN_ALL_ACCESS, NULL, SecurityImpersonation, TokenPrimary, &hNewToken); b = CreateProcessAsUser(hNewToken, NULL,ArgPBU,NULL, NULL, FALSE, NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS | CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE, NULL, Cwd, &si, &m_piPBU); CloseHandle(hNewToken); ------------- After executing this I am getting same result.

Does your service have a main or a WinMain entry point? Also, you should post this in the Viaual C++/MFC forum.
