INFO: Running ILLiad ISO ILL under Windows NT 4.0 Server
January 5, 2006
SUMMARY
On startup, ILLiad ISO may print some diagnostic messages to the standard error stream. When running as a Windows NT service, the standard in/out/error streams do not exist - therefore the messages have nowhere to go. When ILLiad ISO is run as a service on Windows NT 4, the diagnostic messages cause the service to abort. Windows 2000 in effect redirects the streams to nul, so those messages are never seen, and cause no undesirable effects. You can make these changes to get the ILLiad ISO Service to start on the server.
To redirect stdout and stderr on Windows NT:
1. Open the registry editor on the server by going to Start .. Run and typing regedt32. Find the service entry for the ILLiad ISO Service under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ILLiad ISO Service
2. Under the Parameters subkey, add the following values by clicking on the Edit menu and choosing Add Value.
Value Name: System.err File
Data Type: REG_SZ
String: {isodir}\stderr.log
Value Name: System.out File
Data Type: REG_SZ
String: {isodir}\stdout.log
where {isodir} is the name of the directory where ILLiad ISO was installed (it will be the value stored in the 'Current Directory' registry key). After adding these values, close the Registry Editor. Changes are saved automatically.
3. Stop and restart the ILLiad ISO Service from the Services module in the Control Panel.
MORE INFORMATION
The ISOInstall program (build 6.2.1.1 and greater) has been modified to add these entries automatically. Additionally, non-essential messages have been eliminated.
