Start Rainway as an EXE #290

Open andritolion opened 5 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Since Rainway starts as a service, it is not visible in the Startup Apps section of Settings, nor Task Manager's Startup tab.

Describe the solution you'd like To list Rainway in the Startup Apps section, why not make Rainway initially start as a EXE that launches the Rainway Radar service?

Describe alternatives you've considered I do not believe there is an alternative way to list Rainway in Settings.

Since Andrewmd5 told me on Discord that Rainway needs to initially start as a service to prevent a UAC, I have a idea for a dirty workaround.

Make a Rainway startup EXE. On startup, make the Rainway Radar service check if the mock startup EXE is running. If it is running, continue loading Rainway. If not, halt. This also has the effect of potentially bypassing the UAC when you restart Rainway from the Start Menu. If you restart Rainway, send a signal to the (still running) service to load Rainway.

i mean... ccleaner has an option to bypass UAC... why not put this in here?
