    My application works great locally.  Server works great when a program called Viewer.exe*32 is handling the screens and data.  But when set up as a service, the Viewer program is replaced with StdSvc.exe and I get the screens (via Port 80) but the data (via Port 1234) always arrives as zeros at the client.  The software company is stumpped.  They suggese I reinstall in the root directory because by having been installed in a VM directory "user/actual directory" as the E: drive, the service just sends the data to a bit bucket at about 3Mbytes per second.  (I got that from VM Ware monitor).

    I am so close to making this finally work it's not funny. 

    Server Manager says I only have 4 of 41 features installed.  My training has been one help page after another but I'm momentarily stuck.  Maybe I don't care where the data is going or where it has been, but I'd like it to show back up to the service so I could send it on its merry way to the client.

    Any suggestions?

    Never mind.  The problem was a little check box that had to be checked on the application.  It was a box that allowed a guest user to start the application.  In local mode, it promped the user but defaulted to guest.  As a service, there was no one to prompt so the rule back fired!

    Huh, didn't see that one comming!
