Hello Michael

That worked! It was the AppDirectory key in the registry that made the difference.
Thanks a lot!

> On my Windows 2000 server I am running Radiator as a service using

> Off the top of my head here is what I did to get it to become a service:
> 
> 1: Install the windows resource kit
> 2: Copy SRVANY.exe to your c:\radiator dir
> 3: Create a .cmd file in the radiator directory that will launch radiator
> for you:
> For example you might create a file called "Radnow.cmd" and it contains
> "c:\perl\bin\perl.exe c:\radiator\radiusd -config_file
> c:\radiator\configs\yourconfig.txt"
> 4: do  " Instsrv radiator c:\radiator\srvany.exe"
> that creates a service called radiator on the machine
> 5: Reg edit  Hkey local machine, system, current control set, services,
> radiator
> 6: Under the radiator key (on the left side of the reg window) create a

> 7: click on Parameters, and on the right side of the regedit window you want

> 8:  Edit application and put in the command to launch radiator.  Example:
> c:\radiator\radnow.cmd
> 9: Create another string on the right side called "AppDirectory"
> 10: edit appdirectory and put in the path to the radiator cmd file.
> Example:  c:\radiator
> 
> Exit the reg...  Kill any running copies of radiator.
> Go to control panel and edit the radiator service settings.
> Put a check next to "Interact with desktop"
> Launch the Radiator service.
> 
> If the service fails to start...  make sure PERL.exe is not running some
> place in the background.  Kick up Task Manager and kill Perl.exe if it is.
> Then try restarting the service.
