Error installing systray

[anonymous]

Hi,
i attempted to install nsclient on a windows xp and windows server 2003 machine, but when i lunch the command systray install i get the following:

C:\NSClient++>nsclient++ systray install

e .\PDHCollector.cpp(69) Getting counter info...

e .\PDHCollector.cpp(119) Attempting to open counter...

e .\PDHCollector.cpp(122) Counters opend...

e .\SysTray.cpp(40) SysTray is not installed (or it cannot interact with the des

ktop) SysTray wont be loaded. Run NSClient++ SysTray install ti change this.

e .\NSClient++.cpp(239) Module not found

I check for the systray.dll file in nsci.ini, but it is not commented.

How can i do to solve this problem?

(sorry, really old, but...

nsclient++ -noboot SysTray install

l \NSClient++.cpp(292) Module was not loaded, attempt to load it
e \SysTray.cpp(40) SysTray is not installed (or it cannot interact with the desktop) SysTray wont be loaded. Run NSClient++ SysTray install ti change this.
l \SysTray.cpp(63) SystemTray is now able to run as the SERVICE_INTERACTIVE_PROCESS flag has been set.

[mickem]

Uhmm, the solution is still to do

nsclient++ -noboot SysTray install

Or is something wrong?
(if so, let me know what was wrong)

the nsclient++.exe service runs and the "M" icon shows up only momentarily and disappears if you try to mouse over it. If the -noboot option is omitted, then the error shows:

C:\NSCLient++>nsclient++ SysTray install
l \NSClient++.cpp(292) Module was not loaded, attempt to load it
l \SysTray.cpp(63) SystemTray is no able to run as the SERVICE_INTERACTIVE_PROCESS flag has been set,
<then, after many seconds...>
Failed to terminate thread: SysTray...
MAJOR ERROR: Could not unload thread...
e \SysTray.cpp(53) Could not exit the thread, memory leak and potential corruption may be the result...

The strange single chars "l" and "e" are in fact on the error line and mostly, the yellow "m" looking icon shows up on the system tray but if you try to mouse over or "touch" it, it dissappears.

IF you right-click the "M" icon before "failed to terminate thread: SysTray..." appears, you have the "show log", "stop service", and "inject command" options - but then it dies as the error appears on the command line.

Either way the documentation is incorrect:

"nsclient++ SysTray" does not work because there is no command - you need at least:

"nsclient++ SysTray install" after changing the ini file to include SysTray.dll.

and this will likely cause a lot of confusion among Windows users (like me).

I would add that running the client at a cmd prompt as "nsclient++ /test" the client and the system tray icon behaves the way you would expect.

On the service properties on the Log On tab I *did* make sure that the system service had the "Allow service to interact with desktop" and the service was running as the "Local System Account".

Is the local system account not privileged enough perhaps?

Thank you for any advice anyone can offer.

i have the same problem! please help me! thanks so much!

[anonymous]

which version do you use?

[larryfindley@…]

I have the same problem with systray as described above, including the fact that while in test, sytray works normally.
i'm running windows server 2003 r2, standard x64 edition.
Please help, thanks!

If you use Vista (w2k3?) the systray "might" not work "on boot" due to security issues (I need to set some flags that I don't do in the current version).
It should however work if you do "nsclient++ /test".

What do you do after you run "nsclient++ -noboot SysTray install"?

[mickem]

nothing?

you also need to enable the systray plugin (look under [modules]) but apart from that nothing.

(On vista it does not really work due to "privileges")

When I install SysTray on windows 2003 server, I've got this error :

C:\NSClient++-Win32-0.3.3>NSClient++ install

The utilisation of NSClient++ is OK.

Same problem, you can disappear systray option in INI file.

[mickem]

??? not sure i understand what you mean?

[mickem]

new systray handling in last nightly (and upcoming 0.3.4)

[jrodz]

same problem as everyone else. running windows server 2003 sp3. even try to test it without systray and it does not works. windows xp pro clients seem to be ok. I have not try linux servers nor clients yet.

Need msvcm80.dll, msvcp80.dll msvcr80.dll, Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest file in nsclient++ folder to use systray.
I copy these files from VMWare Player 2.5.1 build-126130 folder.

[mickem]

As addendum to above, forgot to mention that SysTray.dll is uncommented in nsc.ini file
