how can I start seaside as a window service for window XP and above.
currrently I am using Pharo.exe -service:"mywebapplication" Pharo.image. but its not working.
Because the default Squeak/Pharo VM for Windows is not compiled anymore with this option. It's disabled in the build.
See the thread "Win32 VM Service facility broken?" in the archive [1]. Looks like it is still not fixed and I got no answer from Andreas on my last post [2] regarding this issue.
Three options: - compile an own VM with the option enabled in the makefile (according to Andreas this would slow down startup) - ask Andreas if is able to look into this to reenable the facility in the standard Windows VM and make it working again - use a more reliable platform (Linux, ...) with a different VM
I cc: this to vm-dev list, maybe someone is able to help you here.
