PC version startup problem

First and foremost I would like to thank you for making this app I've been looking for an app like this from a long time.

Now coming to the main topic, I'd like the pc version to start automatically on startup. So I checked the box. but even then it starts only after I start the program manually.

This bug is really annoying me so please fix it as fast as possible. Also (if possible) please send me a download link via email when you have the bug fixed in the newer versions.

Light.

Re: PC version startup problem

Hello 1605,

The WL Server do run on start up, please make sure "Completely Hidden" is not selected. To test again, please open Settings. Check "Autorun on Startup" then "Normal". Close the dialog. Try now by restarting your PC. Please wait a little while computer loads up all the processes.

 

If WL Server still doesn't run itself, please write back your OS and WL Server version.

Re: PC version startup problem

Thank you Jim but it's a no go for me.

I am using windows 7-32 bit and wifi LAN server 1.1.4.

I would like to specify this if it would help that every time I manually start the program it asks for permission even though if I had already checked for run as administrator.

Re: PC version startup problem

Hello again,

The problem is not with WL Server. The UAC of your Windows will not let WL Server to run on startup because WL Server requires admin rights.

 

There are 2 solutions for this

  1. Create a shortcut of WL Server in "Startup" folder. Inside Properties of that shortcut, check "Run as Administrator".
  2. (Not Recommended) Disable UAC

Re: PC version startup problem

The first method isn't working and I am no computer genius so when you say not recommended, I'll take the advice.

I was also thinking of installing Ubuntu on my pc and was hoping if you would make a pc version of the program for the same in the near future.

So thank you for all your help.

Hello 1605,

Currently no plans for non-Windows OS. But it might reconsider in future releases.
