[stunnel-users] Getting Stunnel to Work Under Windows 7 64-bit

Wed Jun 13 20:41:36 CEST 2012

Brian,

Are you running Stunnel as a service or an app under Windows 7?

I'm unable to run it as a service without running into a host of user 
interface issues.  However, it runs terrifically as an app for me.

I did a search to see if I could find any information on why the
service has issues. I didn't find all that much, but I did stumble
upon the following comment about services in general, which I found 
interesting:

"They run in an entirely different console starting with Vista. As a
result of running in a different console, services cannot interact
with the desktop. So essentially there is no direct UI support. You
typically have to code a sibling UI application that does run as a
normal program and uses some mechanism (named pipes for example) to 
communicate with the service."

Regards,

Thomas
