Hi,

It looks like one of necessary Windows system services is disabled. Error 1058 is (Microsoft description):

The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

Please try to launch your application using Winflector native client and let me know if it is possible. Please send us all the server log files (applogs folder) to support@winflector.com

Regards,Mirek

After getting assistance from Miroslaw and Mirek, I found the Printer Spooler service in my installation was disabled, which in turn caused Winflector's printer service to not install. After fixing that and getting the same error message, I enabled the RPC Locator service and that allowed the Winflector printer to install and start properly. However, I kept getting the same error message. It was suggested that I enabled all services to find out what service was needed, but in the end I just switched that server from Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows 7. Looking at the list of default services, there are some differences between the two. Since this is is a fresh installation, I thought it would be just easier to switch the OS. Winflector ran without a single issue in Windows 7.

I have sent an answer to Juan via e-mail, but maybe I should to paste it here:

Normal 0 21 false false false PL X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

/* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:Standardowy; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;}

Check your printer spooler service on the server. Is it possible that someone disabled the service? The problem is that OpenPrinter function returns error code 1722 (RPC_S_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE). It happens due to server configuration problems.

There is also a problem with one of system services which is probably disabled (error 1058). The only way I see is to enable all disabled services and check if applications work. If so, than you can disable services one by one checking when the problem comes back.

We will try to investigate the problem also here, but it can be specific to your country version of windows. So, if you find the solution, please let us know.

Regards,

Mirek

EDIT:

If you can, please send us your services list in txt unicode format:

- run 'Services.msc'

- click Action/Export list

- save as txt/Unicode

Hello all!

I must say, Winflector does as advertised and I'm buying a license for it. I'm specially encouraged by the responsiveness of the team, even though we are testing the free edition. Pending further clarification from the developers, it seems to me that Winflector does need the COM and printer drivers to work. As for the Server setup, there was something I didn't try. Built-in security seems to be tighter in the administrator account in Windows Server OS's; with that being said, maybe some services are disabled or not started if trying to run Winflector directly within the Administrator desktop as opposed to running it with elevated privileges in a User desktop. But it's a big "maybe", I'm by no means a hardcore admin. I don't know if it's possible at all, but would the developers allow me to suggest the publication of a list of required services in Windows environments? Love your product, and we appreciate your hard work.

Juan.
