I tried to install v2.16 over v2.15 and now I can not get the service to install. Before I installed v2.16 I stopped the service and uninstalled it. Then I installed v2.16 and now I receive an error when trying to install the service.

Error is, "Unable to install/uninstall Game\BLNKSERV.EXE as a service

That's the second complaint I have heard about the service. I use it pretty heavily in that mode. Maybe I'll wait till it's resolved before upgrading. I really want to get the speed fix installed though so I hope he's quick about it.

Check to see if the old version is still running as a service before you install.
Start up "service's" and scroll thru the list be sure its disabled, if it is not disable it manually. Then try to install.

I have never ran it as a service, I always just set mine to start in the startup if it reboots. To stop the service seems like to much work to me.

Here's a screencap of the error

TWGSSERV Command Line Help:

Syntax: TWGSSERV [COMMAND]

Run TWGSSERV with the following commands

INSTALL - Install TWGS to run as a service
UNINSTALL - Uninstall TWGS service
START - Start running TWGS as a service (if installed)
STOP - Stop currently running TWGS service
RESET - Force TWGS to its normal non-service state

Enter a command or press ENTER to exit

TWGS is not installed as a service.

TWGSSERV> install


Unable to install/uninstall Game\BLNKSERV.EXE as a service

Thanks, guys. I'll get this bug fixed right away. I'm writing a new module for the game and I accidentally left it in the service installer.

Sorry, MB. I just wanted to wait to see if any other bugs show up so I don't have to send out too many small updates. It's coming soon.

Since I'm having a hard time getting a new version out, there is a hack that will fix this. I'm going to post a fixed TWGSSERV.EXE on the website so you can just drop that in.

http://wiki.classictw.com/filearchive/apps/twgsserv.exe

Let me know if that works.
