Logos302 86 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I would be nice that when set-up to run as a service that when doing and upgrade that it didn't start the application automatic but rather started the service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logos302 86 Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 Unless I'm doing something wrong. I just installed it from www.mediabrower3.com/download ran the setup.exe and once it was finished it start the application. Is this not how I should be upgrading it?

Logos302 86 Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) ok now that I know I'm doing it correctly. It seems that it not doing it as you describe. When you do the install/update it starts the application as if it wasn't running as a service. Edited December 2, 2013 by Logos302 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logos302 86 Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 It would be better (When you have your setting configured as a service) for it to start the service rather then the application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14960 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 We don't really have a setting of "configured as a service"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logos302 86 Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 would this option not imply that it is running as a service? And if not then that would follow with the my feature request I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37263 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 It's related to the fact that we can't reliably restart the service. It will fail if the logged in user account doesn't have the ability to start and stop services. The route we've taken is delivering fewer features that all work reliably rather than more that don't work half the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37263 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Yes, that's correct. And at the moment you do need to restart manually after that as a service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14960 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 No. We cannot assume that, just because you don't start the server automatically, that you will be running it as a service. In any case, as Luke said, we cannot reliably start a service in all environments so we simply have to leave this to the user. Running as a service is an advanced-user feature anyway.

Logos302 86 Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 ah I understand a little more now. It's just annoying to have to stop the application wait for all the ports to close (At least I think that is what it is) other wise the service will not start and then start the service. But ok then. Guess it's not going to happen. Maybe as an advanced option at the later date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37263 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 yes that is currently expected behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37263 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Unless I'm mistaken it doesn't start the application at all, rather it just tells you to restart the service manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
