Auto start RoboTask on Win7

ianh · Post by **ianh** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 11:23 pm

I'm running Win 7 X64 and have Robtask set up to autostart. However it needs to be run as an adminsitrator. I set this option it then doesn't autostart.
I don't see the Service tab in the Options so can't set the log-on information.
This is probably a Win 7 problem but does anyone know how I can get it to auto-start?
I've tried setting the service up as desribed in the post about X64 services, but this hasn't solved the problem. (And I still don't see the services tab in Options).
Correction: The serrvice is started on booting so the problem may be solved.

If you try to run RoboTask "As Administrator", Windows asks the manual confirmation in any case. this is the property of the system. In this case RoboTask can't start automatically because the confirmation is required.
Of course, you may turn off UAC (user access control), but it isn't recommended.

Another way:
Install and start RoboTask as system service. In this case RoboTask will be started under SYSTEM account with system rights.
In order to learn how to install RoboTask Service and work with it under Vista/Windows 7/2008 server you may read the chapter "Several practical recommendations | Running RoboTask as NT service" of RoboTask's help file.

If you have more questions, feel free to ask me again.

In addition:
"NT Service" tab of RoboTask is visible only in service mode.
