Run as a service
« on: May 14, 2015, 04:11:39 PM »
I'm gonna brave it and likely asking a ludicrous question but is it possible to run VC as a windows service?

Oh no you did-enn!

I noticed you posted this earlier, then wussed out and now I see you've decided to risk it.

Anyway, no.  It's not possible.  Even if I were inclined to make it possible (which I am not), I don't know if it is even possible to make something that is at its core, a UI driven entity, into a service.

At least now if anyone else dares to ask this, I have a link I can post...  :biglaugh

I have no experience with it whatsoever, but you could try this: http://www.coretechnologies.com/products/AlwaysUp/

There's 30-day free trial.
TIPS: POST VC VERSION #. Explain what you want VC to do. Say what you've tried & what happened, or post a video demo. Attach VC log. Link to instructions followed.  Post your command (xml)

Whether it's referring to insomnia or an overdose of Viagra, "always up" sounds like something I'd rather avoid.
