Start of Office Maker Server or BiblioMaker Server as a service on Windows, stops after a few seconds

When installing Office Maker Server or BiblioMaker Server on Windows, the program can be registered as a Windows service to automate its start-up. For technical reasons, the service cannot be started with the local system account: in the service Properties, choose another account (with administrator rights) or create a new account for the occasion.

If you create a specific account, you must log in with that account so that Windows can create the standard folder hierarchy in the account's folder.

Once in the account session, start Office Maker Server or BiblioMaker Server via File Explorer or the Start menu, and select the data file to be opened so that the program can memorize the path.

After quitting the program, start the service and make sure it starts correctly and stays started. If the service stops working after a few seconds, it's probably because the service hasn't found the file storing the path to the data file to be opened. This file can be found at the following location :

C:\Users\[User account]\AppData\Roaming\[App name]\lastDataPath.xml

If necessary, copy this file from another account that has already run the program and paste it into the same folder of the account used by the service.
