Cannot make 2.0.9 work as Windows Service

@starob2

Yes, absolutely. If I install a windows service it should start immediatly.

This is now the case with the latest canary build.

As starob2 wrote trayicon is unusable because without enabling this option the Duplicati.GUI.TrayIcon.exe process hangs after clicking Open in the context menu and nothing happens. The user has to kill the process. With it enabled the browser starts and nothing hangs.

I have added an issue for tracking this problem

@ts678

Confirming an issue on 2.0.9.111 with an Open hang using --webservice-password=<password> option on Duplicati.GUI.TrayIcon.exe. The Pause and Quit items seem to work, but Open draws TrayIcon menu in a slightly wide way (both the text and the icons seem to stretch), then stays in spinning-circle-when-moused-over busy mode. On network, it did its issuesignintoken sequence.

Another workaround for some is to start TrayIcon with --read-config-from-db --server-datafolder="C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Duplicati"

Thanks for confirming and providing extra details.
