wol,
First, where did you get Win32::Daemon from? The one on CPAN is very old - you should get the one directly from Roth's site (links elsewhere in the thread) though I don't know if Win32::Daemon::Simple will still work with it.

Second, what's your configuration? I am specifically interested in AS 5.10 on Vista but have XP with SP3 to test with as well. If you are not familiar with Roth's forums for his modules, you should cross post this there (which is what I did for my question - link in the root node).

Third, thank you so much for actually trying to get this to work rather than just point to resources that aren't working. I don't mean that as a slight to others who have contributed but I have explained on a number of occassions that SrvAny just isn't working and that converting an existing application over to Win32::Daemon isn't as simple as use Win32::Daemon; (looking for a "how to" guide).

Cheers - L~R
