[stunnel-users] Unable to Stop Service - Windows XP SP3 x86

Tue Oct 16 20:59:14 CEST 2012

I just uninstalled Stunnel version 4.53 and replaced it with 4.54 on my 
Windows XP
SP3 x86 machine.

What I generally do is stop the service, uninstall the service, then 
uninstall Stunnel
prior to installing the new version.

When I attempted to stop the version 4.53 service via the start menu 
shortcut, I was
unsuccessful; all that happened was that the Stunnel status/log window 
would launch.
This was repeatable.  Likewise, when I attempted to stop it from an 
elevated command
prompt using stunnel.exe -stop, the result was the same.  I am 
administrator on this
machine.

I launched services.msc, and was able to stop it from there without any 
difficulty.

After I installed 4.54, just to see what would happen, I attempted to 
stop the service
again using the same methods.  Same result.. I just can't do it in the 
conventional
manner.

I checked to ensure that there was only one Stunnel service/process running,
and that checks out okay.

Not sure if others are seeing this issue, but thought I'd better let 
someone know
about it.

Thanks for the new version!

Regards,

Thomas
