Needs windows restart before creating service #343

Closed amar02041988 closed 1 year ago

I have used node-windows to create a windows service for a node.js based cron application. Before running my js code in which node-windows is used to create a service, I always need to first restart the computer, only then the service is getting created and visible in windows service manager.

Is there any issue due to which it needs a computer restart before running node-windows code to create windows service. Is there any association between windows restart and the node-windows package.

Please let me know.

node-windows is just a service runner, so there isn't any functionality related to system restarts. If you use node-windows to install a script, you may need to write additional code to have it autostart once the system has booted up. See https://github.com/coreybutler/node-windows/discussions/347.

I'm closing this because the aforementioned discussion is a better forum for this.
