Windows Service add-on only
Configuring Windows Service requires !MC5 to be started with administrator privileges. If not started using the appropriate privileges !MC5 can be restarted as administrator using the button on the settings page.
Setup
Install service
Installs the windows service. Only available if the Windows Service executable is present and the service is not already installed.
Service access rights
When installing the service by default it will log using the local system account. Verify that the user account used to run the service has proper access rights to all directories and network paths used by MC5. If needed either grant the user all needed access rights or change the user used to run the MC5 Windows Service (you can use the link Open services control panel to change the user).
Uninstall service
Uninstalls the Windows Service. Only available if the service is installed.
Settings
Enable service debugging
If debugging is activated the Windows Service logs errors and certain events in a special log file saved to the !MC5 log folder. This option can also be activated using -d as service startup parameter.
Logout delay (seconds)
When a Windows user logs out, the !MC5 background process gets stopped and restarted as soon, as the Windows login screen shows. If the restart happens too fast this can result in !MC5 not starting up correctly. When this is the case increase the Logout dealy. The default delay is one second. This logout delay value can also be set using -tnn, with nn replaced by the number of seconds, as service startup parameter.
