I have created a sample windows service application (lazdaemon
package) in an older version of lazarus. The service installs in
windows, but does not do anything when I compile the same app in
 Lazarus 0.9.28.2 It seems that the service thread does not get
created. in older version 0.9.26 (i'm not sure about the correct
number), the same app runs (service thread does execute, writes to the
event log).
any ideas.
The sample app ws written accordindg to the article
http://www.linuxprogramlama.com/downloads/lazarus/daemons.pdf

I follow the same tutorial with the same results: nothing happens;
I'll try with another version.

Lazarus 0.9.28.2 r22279 FPC 2.2.4 i386-win32-win32/win64
Windows 7 32 bits.

You can execute your service  :

I have upgraded to the Lazarus 0.9.30 today. It seem nothing is fixed
yet. What did you mean on the link above?

You should create a bug report and write on it that it is a
regression. Also please attach a minimal test case which reproduces
the problem to the bug report. This should guarantee that the new
release will contain a fix for this.

Standard cleadirs demo does not work. I guess it should write
something to the event log even the configuration file does not exist.
Cleandirs doesn't do anything...
I have Windows XP Pro. Lazarus 0.9.30

Hi guys.

Got the same as anonim.
I've made my own windows service after instaling lazdaemon package.
Lazarus 0.9.30 (FPC 2.4.2) on Windows Server 2003 X64
Lararus 0.9.31 (FCP 2.4.4) on Vista 32
Rebuild Lazarus: OK
Create new project as service: got the service frame (mapper and
daemon components)
Daemon class assigned into on item of mapper
Events implemented:
Mapper: Create, Destroy, Install, Run, Uninstall. Code is only a
comment in a text flat file
Daemon: Create, Destroy, Start, Stop, Execute. Same code as above
except for Start in which the code launches a Thread which writes
comments into the same text file, one live every second, for ever,
until thread is terminated (in Stop event).
So far so good.
BUT:
Pragram.exe -install works (got the comments in the text file)
Pragram.exe -uninstall works (got the comments in the text file)
Mapper and Daemon are both registered, created, destoyed 
Within Services manager: start service and stop service do nothing at
all. I mean neither procedures nor events are fired and nothing is
written into the text file. 
Both versions (Win32 and Win64) give exactly the same results: Start
Stop do not work. 

New ideas are welcome.

Antonio.
