Hi Community, I am running a homepage on our intranet from a Windows server 2008. The server restarts from time to time (I guess installs updates), but because I run my webservice directly from the Labview project, the homepage remains down until somebody recognizes that its down and drops me a mail. I'd like to get rid of this problem and want to make sure the service restarts when the server reboots. I guess the right way is to compile the project into an exe and the somehow start the exe when the server reboots. I am having issues though with the exe. The compilation happens without an issue but when I run the exe, my startup VI shows up but stops with the following error message: NI_WebServices.lvlib:Error Converter (ErrCode or Status).vi<APPEND> <b>Complete call chain:</b> NI_WebServices.lvlib:Error Converter (ErrCode or Status).vi NI_WebServices.lvlib:Web Service.lvclass:Get Web Service Status.vi REMS_STARTUP.vi In the build specs I have added my startup VI to the startup section, everything else to the "always included". I have checked the checkbox of the webservice I want to create on the webservices menu. I have tried to follow the steps in this document but the result is the same. Any guess? thanks!

Webservice to EXE?

The NI Web Application server is different for 32-bit and 64-bit web services. If you look on the web configuration for the NI application web server you can see you can set the port for each one individually - and of course only one can listen on a particular port at a time.

On my system, the 64-bit NI Application Web Server is actually disabled - so I doubt that trying to deploy a 64-bit web service would work for me.
