Installer instructed not to start service at startup, but does the opposite

[unsystemizer]

v0.8:

When installing I chose not to install NMControl as service, but it still tried to start:

2015-09-03 14:33:58,776 - nmcontrol - INFO - ###################################################################################
2015-09-03 14:33:59,065 - nmcontrol - INFO - Daemon mode not possible on MS Windows.

I looked at service-dns.conf and I have this:

[dns]
; Launch at startup
; start=1

Does ; mean this is the default? It seems the installer always sets this to 1, or doesn't specifically set start=0 even when instructed.

This is independent from the conf file you mention. Nonetheless it is not supposed to do this...

Could it be the reason was that you ran the installer before with autostart activated? You then ran it a second time with autostart disabled and it did not get removed. I have it fixed by cleaning up any previous autostart links in https://github.com/namecoin/nmcontrol/pull/100

I don't think I did (I have Namecoin Core and NameGUI, don't think I had tried NMControl before).

• I unchecked "Start automatically" when installing (that should mean start=0 in the config file, I suppose?)
• But in config file, there's no start=0, there is start=1, although it's marked-out

Regardless of autostart links, shouldn't the config file setting matter? (What I mean by this is, if autostart link starts NMControl, NMControl should check the config file and if it says start=0, it should exit)

The start settings in the conf files are only relevant for the specific plugins, not for NMControl as a whole.
