Running windows services, an IPC issue?

[Cory Patterson]

Hello all,

I am looking to run an win application on linux.  The problem it that it is
two parts:  a exe, which calls a dll (and runs fine) and a service that
accepts requests fron the dll and does things (generates labels).


the small program runs fine, i get a return code telling me that the
service isn't running.

but if i try to execute the service, i get:

[pattejam at cory server]$ wine --winver win20 --debugmsg +advapi
slpsvcmgr.exe
trace:advapi:StartServiceCtrlDispatcherA (0x405e6e40)
err:advapi:StartServiceCtrlDispatcherA Couldn't find wait semaphore
err:advapi:StartServiceCtrlDispatcherA perhaps you need to start services
using StartService


I have looked around and really haven't seen much about this issue.


Thanks in advance.
