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

Brian.

Okay, I managed to get 4.45 working as a service. My only question is, how are your bringing up the Stunnel status window?

Even with taskbar = yes, I don't get an icon in the notification area like I do with Windows XP.

Thanks.

Thomas

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

    I should note that I have been running stunnel 4.45 on Windows 7
    since
    Oct-2011 with no problems whatsoever. It has been running
    non-stop on
    Windows 7 to this date with no problems. I have not upgraded to the
    latest because I have not been able to have time to test the FIPS
    changes with my configuration yet.
