Description Ken Sharp 2013-08-23 09:45:28 UTC

Created attachment 45703 [details]
wine-1.7.0-199-g52fb1cc console output (2nd run)

The MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester Agent (MetaTester 5) installs itself as a system (SYSTEM account) service on Windows XP and starts automatically at boot. The same application also starts the services manually during its first run.

The main application MetaTester.exe controls all the agents running on a local machine and each agent is the same application launched again but with specific command line arguments.

The agents seem to start fine during first run but on subsequent runs the agents can fail to start.

err:service:service_send_start_message service L"MetaTester-1" failed to start
fixme:service:scmdatabase_autostart_services Auto-start service L"MetaTester-1" failed to start: 1053

Once installed the agents attempt to start whenever Wine is launched as would be expected.

This is hit and miss: sometimes the agents start, sometimes they don't, but sometimes one can start whereas another does not. No idea why.

Comment 1 Ken Sharp 2013-08-23 10:02:57 UTC

On Windows XP when closing the the main application the services continue to run in the background as a service. Under Wine the services exit. I don't know if this is intentional or not.

Comment 2 Ken Sharp 2013-08-23 10:12:05 UTC

On first run the application calls metatester.exe /autoinstall to add the services.

Comment 3 Ken Sharp 2013-08-23 11:17:34 UTC

Tested with Wine 1.4.1 and the agents start automatically each time Wine is launched without any errors but the listener ports are not opened on the network.

Will run a regression test anyway to see if it makes anything more clear.

Comment 4 Ken Sharp 2014-01-30 13:58:21 UTC

Both issues appear to be fixed in wine-1.7.11-162-ga1b9634 (a1b963490a80f92aa3359f5ee97215c0b3064c22).

Comment 5 Alexandre Julliard 2014-02-07 13:07:14 UTC

Closing bugs fixed in 1.7.12.
