*beta* Win32 Service

**R. Ludwig** · 17-06-2003, 08:14

hi there,

at this location you find a win32 service BINARY :
http://www.goteamspeak.com/index.php...downloads&id=6

you have two choices:

1)
install the normal win32 server, after that copy the service
binary to that directory

2)
copy the httdoc, sqlite_sql directory + *.dll files to the
same location as the win32 service binary.

-------

to install the service:
xxxxxxxxx.exe /INSTALL

to uninstall the service:
xxxxxxxxx.exe /UNINSTALL

-------

please report back if all works or if you encountered any problems.

Nice

Been waiting patiently for this.

Seems to work fine except the language when "installing" and the default was not to "Allow service to interact with desktop."

I also just realized that this takes care of those not wanting the loading banner and the tray icon not to show.

Thanks a lot, keep it up.

I also have been having this start up problem. I followed your directions and copied the binary to the TS directory. Your last step:

===================
to install the service:
xxxxxxxxx.exe /INSTALL

to uninstall the service:
xxxxxxxxx.exe /UNINSTALL
===================

Little cofusesed here. The copied binary file no longer has the .exe extension. I double click on it and nothing happens. Needless to say the startup problem still exists. Am i missing something?

Any and all help is appreciated - TY

Been a while since I did it, but the "installer" was in German (I think), and I only know English

. Easy enough though so I managed.

"Allow service to interact with desktop": Windows NT services have an option for the service (in this case TeamSpeak) to be visible on the desktop, ie to a user logged in to the local machine. This shows the TeamSpeak server icon in the system tray, but by default, the TS service installer did NOT enable this option so the server icon was not visible in the system tray.

The fix for the sqlite.dll error did not work for me. My post above explains my only question I have on the fix. If that is not an issue then I am stumped. The three peeps I have sent to retrieve the server side have expreienced the same prob. Help is appreciated - TY....

Just use FireDaemon from www.FireDaemon.com to run the normal server as a service. It works great and lets you allow service to interact with desktop or not so you can have the icon show on the taskbar or not.

Maybe I'm too much used to unix. But a server interacting with the desktop is just plain wrong. Make a frontend GUI that communicates with the service.
Just my 0,02€

aehm. actualy the idea of the service was, that its not on the desktop etc :P

if you want a servericon, use the normal server.

**Cstar_maxim** · 02-08-2003, 07:09

A service can be loaded automatically even if someone is not logged in to the computer. Can you load a normal server when no user is logged in?

**Fark_Maniac** · 02-08-2003, 20:46

if you like living dangerously, change the shell of windows to the teamspeak program... I haven't tried this, nor would I want to...but I'm just thinking of the old joke of changing the shell to telnet.exe...gosh that was fun back in the day.

Yep.

See this: http://www.teamspeak.org/forums/show...&threadid=5943

This is the workaround I used to get the TS2 server loaded as a service. This was before the dev team released the service version.

Just installed it tonight. So far so good.

Bugs to be reported to Mantis.

When I first tried running it thru Scheduled Tasks, I thought, wow this is great, no extra icon, less hassle of making sure it's running, etc. With this program, which seems to work, even less. Way to go TSRC2 Dev Team. I'll be sure to contribute. oh BTW if you need a decent .NET programmer look no further. though I'm sure you have more than enough offers.
